This study aims to examine the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation at corticobulbar excitability in individuals with different gene polymorphism.
The effects of TDCS on corticobulbar excitability of the brain after inhibitory pre-conditioning will be compared in patients with different BDNF phenotypes
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
20
application of optimised parameters of tDCS (anodal stimulation, 1.5 mA, 10 min) over the unconditioned hemisphere reverses the brain and behavioural consequences of inhibitory pre-conditioning
