Authors: Siegert A, Diedrich L, Antal A PMID: 34776903 PMCID: PMC8578968 DOI: 10.3389/fnhum.2021.730134 Abstract The world's population is aging. With this comes an increase in the prevalence of age-associated diseases, which amplifies the need for novel treatments to counteract cognitive decline in the elderly. One of the recently discussed non-pharmacological approaches is transcranial direct current [...]

Authors: Teselink J, Bawa KK, Koo GK, Sankhe K, Liu CS, Oh P PMID: 34700007 DOI: 10.1016/j.arr.2021.101499 Abstract Background: Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques have shown some promise in improving cognitive and neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS) in people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and its prodromal stage, mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However, data from clinical trials involving [...]

Authors: Ahorsu DK, Adjaottor ES, Lam BY PMID: 34202739 PMCID: PMC8301762 DOI: 10.3390/brainsci11070840 Abstract This systematic review and meta-analysis aggregated and examined the treatment effect of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) (transcranial direct current stimulation and transcranial magnetic stimulation) on cognitive functions in people with traumatic brain injury (TBI). A systematic search was conducted using databases [...]

Authors: Theoharides TT, Cholevas C, Polyzoidis K, Poliotis A PMID: 33847020 PMCID: PMC8250989 DOI: 10.1002/biof.1726 Abstract COVID-19 leads to severe respiratory problems, but also to long-COVID syndrome associated primarily with cognitive dysfunction and fatigue. Long-COVID syndrome symptoms, especially brain fog, are similar to those experienced by patients undertaking or following chemotherapy for cancer (chemofog or [...]

PMID: 33182375 PMCID: PMC7695320 DOI: 10.3390/cells9112442 Abstract Brain metastases remain an unmet clinical need in breast oncology, being frequently found in HER2-overexpressing and triple-negative carcinomas. These tumors were reported to be highly cancer stem-like cell-enriched, suggesting that brain metastases probably [...]

Traditional treatments have failed to meet the needs of patients with tinnitus. Noninvasive brain stimulation [...]

Authors: Xu TT, Li H, Dai Z, Lau GK, Li BY, Zhu WL et al. PMID: 32268299 PMCID: PMC7185103 DOI: 10.18632/aging.103035 Abstract The natural polyamine spermidine and spermine have been reported to ameliorate aging and aging-induced dementia. However, the mechanism is still confused. An aging model, the senescence accelerated mouse-8 (SAMP8), was used in this [...]

Authors: Finisguerra A, Borgatti R, Urgesi C PMID: 30787895 PMCID: PMC6373438 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2019.00135 Abstract In the last years, there has been a growing interest in the application of different non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to induce neuroplasticity and to modulate cognition and behavior in adults. Very recently, different attempts have been made to induce functional plastic [...]

Authors: Sabel BA, Flammer J, Merabet LB PMID: 30412515 PMCID: PMC6294586 DOI: 10.3233/RNN-180880 Abstract Vision loss due to ocular diseases such as glaucoma, optic neuropathy, macular degeneration, or diabetic retinopathy, are generally considered an exclusive affair of the retina and/or optic nerve. However, the brain, through multiple indirect influences, has also a major impact on [...]

PMID: 30328957 PMCID: PMC6781710 DOI: 10.1590/1516-4446-2017-0018 Abstract Objective: Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS), are increasingly being used to treat mental disorders, particularly major depression. The aim of [...]
