Differential effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation in healthy adults of younger and older age: inhibitory neurotransmission and behavior

Differential effects of anodal transcranial direct current stimulation in healthy adults of younger and older age: inhibitory neurotransmission and behavior

Changes in -aminobutyric acid (GABA) mediated synaptic transmission have been associated with age-related motor- and cognitive functional decline. Since anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (atDCS) has been suggested to target cortical GABAergic inhibitory interneurons its potential for t...
