Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive, painless and easy-to use-technology. It can be used in depression, schizophrenia other neurological disorders. There are no studies about longer usage protocols regarding the ideal duration weekly frequency of tDCS.to study use tDCS twice week for periods to improve memory elderly with MCI.a randomized double-blind controlled trial anodal on cognition 58 aged over 60 years was conducted. A 2.0 mA applied 30 minutes 10...
The lack of efficacy pharmacological treatments for cognitive and negative symptoms in schizophrenia highlights the need new interventions. We investigated effects tDCS on working memory patients with schizophrenia. Double-blinded, randomized, sham-controlled clinical trial, investigating 10 sessions subjects. Stimulation used 2 mA, 20 min, electrodes 25 cm2 wrapped cotton material soaked saline solution. Anode was positioned over left DLPFC cathode contralateral area. Twenty-four...
Among the 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games unforgettable moments, one could not overlook performances by Phelps Bolt, which challenge old premises about maximum extension of individual supremacism in ultracompetitive modalities doping scandals. Different media channels resonated these two trends, with an unseen rise on discussions traits practices that may set ultrahigh performance athletes apart from more ordinary ones. Yet, some key issues remain undebated. This paper aims to add this...
Technology is changing the way students interact with knowledge, and open-ended activities are one of main types tasks that engage in technology-rich environments. However, amount guidance needed to promote learning these environments remains unknown. We explore this issue by focusing on effects step-by-step versus generic instructions student's exploratory behavior arousal levels. In experiment, completed three computer-based within a physics simulation software: building tower, bridge free...
Abstract Introduction: We report a transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) protocol over the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) combined with cognitive training in schizophrenia. Method: assessed psychotic symptoms nine patients using Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS). All evaluations were scored at baseline, end of intervention protocol, during 4-week follow-up. The tDCS consisted 10 consecutive sessions 5-day periods. placed cathode right anode left DLPFC. For sham...
Liking is one of the most important psychological processes associated with reward system, being involved in affective processing and pleasure/displeasure encoding. Currently, there no consensus regarding combination physiological indicators which best predict liking, especially when applied to dynamic stimuli such as videos. There a lack standard methodology assess likeability over time therefore assessing narrative semantic aspects stimulus. We developed time-dependent method evaluate...
Given the limited therapeutic options for Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS), we conducted an open-label clinical trial to evaluate effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) hyperphagia, food craving, and aberrant behaviors on this population.Twelve subjects with PWS (11-35 years old) were included. The underwent 10 daily 20-minute sessions tDCS in 2 weeks. anode was positioned over left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, cathode contralateral region.We observed amelioration...
Cognitive deficits are core symptoms of schizophrenia that occur from the early stages disorder. There is reliable evidence cognitive associated with outcomes in schizophrenia; thus, treatment could be particularly important. Studies different neuromodulation techniques involving subjects suggest application transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) inhibitory over left temporo-parietal cortex and excitatory dorsolateral prefrontal ameliorate positive, negative, symptoms. The aim...
O estudo das funções executivas (FEs) tem sido alvo de pesquisas com foco na relação cérebro-comportamento, principalmente no que diz respeito ao desenvolvimento habilidades sociais e o controle emocional em crianças, adolescentes adultos lesão cerebral lobo frontal. Uma vez essas são fundamentais para a adaptação do indivíduo sociedade, é possível perceber sua importância evolução filogenética homem como um mecanismo regulação comportamento. Por essa razão, este artigo objetivo fornecer...
