Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Enhances Sucking of a Liquid Bolus in Healthy Humans

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Enhances Sucking of a Liquid Bolus in Healthy Humans

Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive technique used for modulating cortical excitability in vivo in humans. Here we evaluated the effect of tDCS on behavioral and electrophysiological aspects of physiological sucking and swallowing. Methods: Twelve healthy sub...
