Prison research: a bioethics or an ethics issue?

Acta bioeth; 27 (1), 2021
Abstract: The hypothesis of reducing aggressiveness through transcranial direct current stimulation was recently tested on a cohort of inmates in Spain. The experiment, including 1.5 mA electric shocks, was an external research initiative that received the initial acquiescence of the carceral system. An ...

Aplicação simultânea de estimulação transcraniana por corrente contínua cerebelar anódica para reabilitação do equilíbrio na ataxia cerebelar: relato de caso

Rev. Pesqui. Fisioter; 11 (2), 2021
INTRODUÇÃO: As ataxias cerebelares são um extenso grupo de doenças que causam diversos distúrbios na marcha e no equilíbrio, e que comprometem seriamente a qualidade de vida, sem opções de tratamento eficazes.

Neuroinflammatory effects of tDCS in ovariectomized rats with chronic inflammation

Clin. biomed. res; 41 (4), 2021
Introduction: Postmenopausal women are more susceptible to chronic conditions, such as osteoporosis, arthritis, and other inflammatory diseases. We investigated the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on biomarker levels in ovariectomized rats subjected to an inflammatory model. Met...

What are the barriers to participation in a neuromodulation pilot trial for aphasia after stroke?

CoDAS; 33 (4), 2021
ABSTRACT Purpose Aphasia is a common and debilitating manifestation of stroke. Transcranial electrical stimulation uses low-intensity electric currents to induce changes in neuronal activity. Recent evidence suggests that noninvasive techniques can be a valuable rehabilitation tool for patients with aph...

Precision non-implantable neuromodulation therapies: a perspective for the depressed brain

Current first-line treatments for major depressive disorder (MDD) include pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy. However, one-third of depressed patients do not achieve remission after multiple medication trials, and psychotherapy can be costly and time-consuming. Although non-implantable neur...

Association of BDNF, HTR2A, TPH1, SLC6A4, and COMT polymorphisms with tDCS and escitalopram efficacy: ancillary analysis of a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

Objective: We investigated whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with neuroplasticity and activity of monoamine neurotransmitters, such as the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF, rs6265), the serotonin transporter (SLC6A4, rs25531), the tryptophan hydroxylase 1 (TPH1, rs1800532),...
