NPNL Publishes in Frontiers in Neurology

Feb 14, 2017

NPNL’s Dr. Lefebvre and Dr. Liew recently published a review paper in Frontiers in Neurology titled “Anatomical Parameters of tDCS to Modulate the Motor System after Stroke: A Review”. The article reviews previous uses of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) after stroke and explores how potential sources of variability in tDCS placement may alter the neuromodulatory effects that tDCS exerts on the post-stroke motor system.
