Background:

Motor learning is crucial for skill acquisition and recovery from neurological damage.
Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique.
tDCS modulates cortical excitability and has shown promise in motor-related applications.

Approach:

This mini-review provides an integrative overview of tDCS for modulating human motor learning.
It examines the underlying mechanisms of tDCS's immediate and long-term effects.
Considerations regarding tDCS limitations and recent advancements are discussed.

Key Points:

tDCS is a low-cost, portable, and well-tolerated method for enhancing motor learning.
It has been successfully applied in healthy individuals, post-brain lesion recovery, and motor deficit disorders.
Understanding tDCS mechanisms is vital for optimizing its therapeutic use.

Conclusions:

tDCS holds significant potential for modulating and improving human motor learning.
Further research into its mechanisms and applications can advance neurorehabilitation strategies.
tDCS represents a promising tool for both enhancing performance and restoring motor function.
