Transcranial direct current stimulation in Alzheimer's disease
… from the clinical trials related to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) treatment of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) into a machine learning model of the disease to understand the long term impact of the treatment on disease progression over a decade. The three main contributions of this work …

Multifocal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation to Modulate Motor Learning
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that modulates neural excitability in targeted brain regions, influencing processes such as motor learning. While tDCS has been previously shown to benefit motor skill acquisition, much of this research has …

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation with Individualized Physical Therapy for Chronic Knee Pain
… or exercise. The addition of noninvasive brain stimulation, in the form of transcranial direct stimulation (tDCS), to PT has the potential to reverse maladaptive plasticity, as well as improve pain and functional outcomes beyond those seen with PT in isolation. This study investigated the …

Direct current stimulation modulates LTP and LTD: activity-dependence and dendritic effects
<p>Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been reported to improve various forms of learning in humans. Stimulation is often applied during training, producing lasting enhancements that are specific to the learned task. These learning effects are thought be mediated by altered synaptic …

Finite Element Study of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation: customization of models and montages
<p>Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that applies low amplitude current via electrodes placed on the scalp. Rather than directly eliciting a neuronal response, tDCS is believed to modulate excitability – encouraging or suppressing activity in …

Feasibility study of trans-cranial Direct Current Stimulation in presence of Brain tumor
<p>Trans-cranial Direct Current Stimulation has been shown to modulate cortical neuronal activity. Weak constant current is applied to the scalp using electrodes, leading to sub-threshold changes in neuronal membrane potential. Before actual clinical stimulation is performed, such systems are …

Effects of Transcranial Direct-Current Stimulation on Motor Learning in the Developing Brain
Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of non-invasive brain stimulation applied in both healthy and clinical populations. Application of weak current induces electric fields at the neuronal level, and may lead to behavioral effects such as enhanced motor learning when paired with …

The acute effects of transcranial direct current stimulation on the performance of velocity based squat training
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has emerged as a promising neuromodulatory technique for improving sports performance, especially in reducing speed loss during overloaded exercise. This effect is mainly attributed to the ability of tDCS to modulate the cerebral cortex, influencing …
