Abstract
Background
Transcranial
direct current stimulation (tDCS) induces long-lasting NMDA
receptor-dependent cortical plasticity via persistent subthreshold
polarization of neuronal membranes. Conventional bipolar tDCS is applied
with two large (35 cm2) rectangular electrodes, resulting in
directional modulation of neuronal excitability. Recently a newly
designed 4 × 1 high-definition (HD) tDCS protocol was proposed for more
focal stimulation according to the results of computational modeling. HD
tDCS utilizes small disc electrodes deployed in 4 × 1 ring
configuration whereby the physiological effects of the induced electric
field are thought to be grossly constrained to the cortical area
circumscribed by the ring.
