Abstract
Non-invasive brain stimulation with weak direct currents (transcranial direct current
stimulation (tDCS)) has emerged as one of the major tools to induce neuroplastic cortical
excitability alterations in humans since its (re-) introduction to the arsenal of
plasticity-inducing brain stimulation tools. In this review, we gather newly emerged
knowledge about the effect of tDCS on brain function in both, basic and applied research.
This overview will deliver an update of the last two years of research, because especially
during this time numerous important studies were published covering the above-mentioned
fields.
