Electrical Stimulation in the 18 th century
Electrical Stimulation in the 19 th century
(1910)
Transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) 1980
Common aspects of these treatments • Suprathreshold stimulation • Phenomenological effects DCS • Subthreshold stimulation • Physiological effects
Principal action of DC-stimulation: modulation of resting membrane potential
Cortical DC-stimulation of the rat: effects during stimulation … Baseline Text cathodal anodal Bindman et al. 1964
…and after-effects anodal cathodal Bindman et al. 1964
After-effects are protein synthesisdependent Gartside 1968
…and accompanied by specific biochemical alterations 30 min 3 h stimulation dark neurones
50% of transcranially applied direct currents reach the brain - calculations on realistic head models, validation in animal experiments (Rush & Driscoll 1968) - validation in humans (Dymond et al. 1975)
