PUTATIVE PHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS UNDERLYING ANALGESIC EFFECTS OF TRANSCRANIAL DIRECT CURRENT STIMULATION (TDCS)

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that induces changes in excitability, and activation of brain neurons and neuronal circuits.It has been observed that beyond regional effects under the electrodes, tDCS also alters activity of remote interconn...
