Article Synopsis
- tDCS applied to the dominant primary motor cortex (M1) increases its excitability and motor performance, but its effect on the non-dominant contralateral M1 was not previously quantified.
- This study used a double-blind, randomized design with 18 participants to assess the impact of tDCS on the excitability of the non-dominant M1, employing transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure motor evoked potentials (MEP) at various time points.
- Results showed that tDCS did not significantly affect the excitability of the contralateral M1 during or right after the stimulation, suggesting that the typical parameters for tDCS may not modulate this area.
