Studying and modifying brain function with non-invasive brain stimulation.

TL;DR: The state of non-invasive brain stimulation research in humans is summarized, some current debates about properties and limitations of these methods are discussed, and recommendations for how these challenges may be addressed are given.

International Parkinson and movement disorder society evidence‐based medicine review: Update on treatments for the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease

TL;DR: The objective of this review was to update evidence‐based medicine recommendations for treating motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease with new recommendations for treatment of central nervous system symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Safety and recommendations for TMS use in healthy subjects and patient populations, with updates on training, ethical and regulatory issues: Expert Guidelines

TL;DR: New operational guidelines are provided for safety in planning future trials based on traditional and patterned TMS protocols, as well as a summary of the minimal training requirements for operators, and a note on ethics of neuroenhancement.
Journal Article

Improved naming after transcranial direct current stimulation in aphasia. Commentaries

TL;DR: Whereas anodal and sham tDCS failed to induce any changes, cathodal tDCS significantly improved the accuracy of the picture naming task by a mean of 33.6% (SEM 13.8%).

Bilateral Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Over Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Changes the Drug-cued Reactivity in the Anterior Cingulate Cortex of Crack-cocaine Addicts

TL;DR: Investigating the indirect electrophysiological effects of single transcranial direct current stimulation on cocaine-addicted brains found that exposure to crack-related images led to increased activity in the ACC in the sham group, while the tDCS group showed decreased ACC activity after visualization of drug cues.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reducing procedural pain and discomfort associated with transcranial direct current stimulation.

TL;DR: Topically applied Eutectic mixture of local anesthetics (EMLA) may reduce tDCS-related discomfort and is associated with higher ratings of "sharpness" and intolerability than anodal stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Membrane resistance and shunting inhibition: where biophysics meets state‐dependent human neurophysiology

TL;DR: Membrane conductance is also increased during shunting inhibition, which accompanies the classic GABAA IPSP, and is suggested here to contribute to the magnitude and time course of short‐interval intracortical inhibition and intrACortical facilitation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-Term Effects of Repeated Prefrontal Cortex Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) on Food Craving in Normal and Overweight Young Adults.

TL;DR: The results confirm earlier findings that single session of tDCS has immediate effects in reducing food craving and show that repeated tDCS over the right DLPFC may increase the duration of its effects, which may be present 30 days after the stimulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficacy of transcranial direct current stimulation coupled with a multidisciplinary rehabilitation program for the treatment of fibromyalgia.

TL;DR: Although active tDCS was associated with superior results in one domain (SF-36 pain domain), the lack of significance in the other domains does not fully support this strategy (weekly tDCS) combined with a multidisciplinary approach.
