“…In fact, interventional programmes based on CI and PE frequently last from several months to one year, which would be a time period more than sufficient to promote the activation of neuroplasticity mechanisms. Nevertheless, neural activity changes have also been observed after one or only a few sessions of CT in healthy elderly subjects (Belleville et al, 2011;Kirchhoff et al, 2012;Miotto et al, 2014;Nyberg et al, 2003) and cognitively impaired patients (Belleville et al, 2011;Hampstead et al, 2011;Hampstead et al, 2012a). Likewise, neural activity changes have been observed after a single session or only a few sessions of TMS or tES in healthy elderly subjects (Holland et al, 2011;Lindenberg et al, 2013;Sole-Padulles et al, 2006) and cognitively impaired patients (Devi et al, 2014;Khedr et al, 2014;Meinzer et al, 2014).…”
