Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation of the motor cortex increases cortical voluntary activation and neural plasticity.

Muscle & nerve - 1 Nov 2016

Frazer Ashlyn, Williams Jacqueline, Spittles Michael, Rantalainen Timo, Kidgell Dawson

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: We examined the cumulative effect of 4 consecutive bouts of noninvasive brain stimulation on corticospinal plasticity and motor performance, and whether these responses were influenced by the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) polymorphism. METHODS: In a randomized double-blinded cross-over design, changes in strength and indices of corticospinal plasticity were analyzed in 14 adults who were...
