Opposite Optimal Current Flow Directions for Induction of Neuroplasticity and Excitation Threshold in the Human Motor Cortex

Opposite Optimal Current Flow Directions for Induction of Neuroplasticity and Excitation Threshold in the Human Motor Cortex

Background: Directional sensitivity is relevant for the excitability threshold of the human primary motor cortex, but its importance for externally induced plasticity is unknown. Objective: To study the influence of current direction on two paradigms inducing neuroplasticity by repetitive transcrani...
