Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Neuromodulation
  • Brain Stimulation

Background:

  • Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) applies low-voltage currents to the brain via scalp electrodes.
  • The core principle involves tES interacting with neural processing and brain networks.
  • This interaction is proposed to modify neural plasticity and consequently, behavior.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the fundamental mechanisms of transcranial electrical stimulation.
  • To highlight the growing applications of tES in research and private sectors.
  • To underscore the potential of tES in enhancing brain function recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Application of constant or alternating low-voltage electrical currents.
  • Utilizing scalp electrodes for non-invasive brain stimulation.
  • Employing tES in basic, translational, and clinical research settings.

Main Results:

  • tES can interact with neural processing and entrain brain networks.
  • The technique has demonstrated potential in modifying neural plasticity.
  • Observed effects of tES can translate to behavioral modifications.

Conclusions:

  • Transcranial electrical stimulation is a versatile neuromodulatory technique.
  • Its application extends from basic research to clinical trials for nervous system disorders.
  • tES shows promise for augmenting recovery of brain function by promoting learning and plasticity.
