Abstract: Shortly after the application of weak transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the animal and human brain, changes in corticospinal excitability, which mainly depend on polarity, duration and current density of the stimulation protocol, have been reported. In humans, anodal tDCS has been reported to enhance motor-evoked potentials (MEPs) elicited by transcranial brain stimulation while cathodal tDCS has been shown to decrease them. Here we investigated the effects produced by tDCS on mice motor cortex… Show more

“…This short-term effect corresponds to the effects reported in the motor cortex based on measurements of motor evoked potentials in humans (7,(37)(38)(39)(40) and in anesthetized animals (29). Although the complete neurophysiological characterization of short-term effects is difficult due to the tDCSinduced artifacts in electrophysiological recordings, the behavioral changes observed during tDCS application point to the same general polarity-specific effects when applied to somatosensory (16,41) and visual (42,43) cortices.…”

“…Besides spontaneous neuronal activity, dc stimulation was also shown to influence the cortical somatosensory and motor evoked responses in rats and cats [78], [80]. More recently similar studies conducted in mice confirmed that tDCS could modulate motor [124] and visual [125] evoked responses in a polarity-specific way.…”

“…The explanation of improvement of kinematic gait parameter following application of anodal TDCs to ipsilesional hemisphere may be due to increase in spontaneous firing rate and excitability of cortical neurons by depolarizing the membrane (14) . The result of this study contradicted with Geroin et al,(2011) who examined the combined TDCS and robot assisted gait training in patient with chronic stroke and reported that direct current stimulation had no additional effect on robotassisted gait training in patients with chronic stroke.…”
