Mini-review: Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation and the Cerebellum

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Laurijn Rianne Draaisma

Oscillatory activity in the cerebellum and linked networks is an important aspect of neuronal processing and functional implementation of behavior. So far, it was challenging to quantify and study cerebellar oscillatory signatures in human neuroscience due ...

Multi-focal Stimulation of the Cortico-cerebellar Loop During the Acquisition of a Novel Hand Motor Skill in Chronic Stroke Survivors

Manon Chloé Durand-Ruel, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Laurijn Rianne Draaisma, Philipp Johannes Koch

Impairment of hand motor function is a frequent consequence after a stroke and strongly determines the ability to regain a self-determined life. An influential research strategy for improving motor deficits is the combined application of behavioral trainin ...

Does one size fit all? - Towards the optimization and personalization of non-invasive brain stimulation paradigms to enhance motor learning

Laurijn Rianne Draaisma

The acquisition and re-acquisition of motor skills is an important aspect of daily life and in the recovery after a stroke. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is a technique that is used to improve motor learning and enhance motor recovery in stroke sur ...

Targeting the frontoparietal network using bifocal transcranial alternating current stimulation during a motor sequence learning task in healthy older adults

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Laurijn Rianne Draaisma

Background: Healthy older adults show a decrease in motor performance and motor learning capacity as well as in working memory (WM) performance. WM has been suggested to be involved in motor learning processes, such as sequence learning. Correlational evid ...

Cerebellar transcranial alternating current stimulation in the gamma range applied during the acquisition of a novel motor skill

Manon Chloé Durand-Ruel, Pablo Maceira Elvira, Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Laurijn Rianne Draaisma, Philipp Johannes Koch, Chang-Hyun Park, Anne Freija Willemijn De Boer

The development of novel strategies to augment motor training success is of great interest for healthy persons and neurological patients. A promising approach is the combination of training with transcranial electric stimulation. However, limited reproduci ...

Non-invasive brain stimulation to enhance cognitive rehabilitation after stroke

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Laurijn Rianne Draaisma

Stroke is a main cause for long-term disability. Stroke symptoms cover various domains, e.g., motor, sensory, language, or other cognitive functions. In clinical practice and rehabilitation research, especially motor impairment attracts much attention. How ...

The Effects of Stimulator, Waveform, and Current Direction on Intracortical Inhibition and Facilitation: A TMS Comparison Study

Friedhelm Christoph Hummel, Takuya Morishita, Maximilian Jonas Wessel, Laurijn Rianne Draaisma

Background: Cortical function is dependent on the balance between excitatory and inhibitory influences. In the human motor cortex, surrogates of these interactions can be measured in vivo, non-invasively with double-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation ...
