Abstract excerpt
Weak cathodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the human hand area modulates corticospinal excitability with a suppression of motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) evoked by transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). The changes in excitability persist beyond the time of stimulation if tDCS is given for several minutes and can remain stable for an hour or more. The aim of present study was to evaluate...
