Article Title: Efficacy and Safety of Transcranial Electric Stimulation during the Perinatal Period: A Systematic Literature Review and Three Case Reports

Article Snippet: We proposed an adjunctive tDCS (or sham) treatment (Starstim ® device, NeuroElectrics, NIC software version 1.4) —while reading a traumatic script—according to the following parameters: a bi-encephalic set-up with the cathode placed on Fp2 and the anode placed on F3, the current intensity at 2 mA (30 s fade-in and fade-out with electrical stimulation at 2 mA between) or sham stimulation (only 30 s fade-in and fade-out) delivered on 20 cm 2 sponges, 20 min of stimulation, two sessions per day (30 min between two sessions) over 5 consecutive days with an interval of 20 min between two stimulations, i.e., a total of 10 tDCS sessions.

The figure is a simplification and does not account for differences in montage size/type or duration of stimulation. Plus-symbol = anodal; Horizontal bar = cathodal; Orange = primarily generative tasks; Green = tasks with additional selectivity demands.

Article Snippet: A follow up study (Chi and Snyder, ) produced similar results on the challenging 9-Dot Problem, which requires “thinking outside the box” to connect dots with lines that extend outside the ostensible boundaries of a square array (Maier, ); cathodal tDCS over the left ATL with anodal tDCS over the right ATL dramatically improved solution rates for this problem, whereas the opposite stimulation montage did not (Chi and Snyder, ).

Article Title: Neural changes associated with cerebellar tDCS studied using MR spectroscopy

doi: 10.1007/s00221-018-5170-1

Figure Lengend Snippet: MRS voxel localisation. a A single 2 × 2 × 2 cm voxel size was located manually in the posterior part of the right cerebellum underneath the anodal electrode. A cod liver oil capsule (yellow arrow) was situated at the top left edge of the electrode to assist with voxel localisation. Three sets of data were acquired: pre-, during and post- cerebellar tDCS; example MRS spectra are shown for three participants including N-acetylaspartate (NAA) and highlighting the ( b ) GABA and c GLX metabolite signals

Article Snippet: For the behavioural session, anodal tDCS (DC-Stimulator, NeuroConn, Germany) was delivered through a pair of rubber electrodes (4 × 4 cm 2 ) within two 5 × 5 cm 2 pads soaked in a saline solution (Wagner et al. ) and attached to the head with Coban self-adhesive tape.
