Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)  for Parkinson's - HOW TO TURN YOUR SMARTPHONE IN A tDCS DEVICE for a penny!  Since the rediscovery of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) about 10 years ago, interest in tDCS has grown exponentially. A noninvasive stimulation technique that induces robust excitability changes within the stimulated cortex,tDCS is increasingly being used in proof-of-principle and stage IIa clinical trials in a wide range of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Alongside these clinical studies, detailed work has been performed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying the observed effects.  Mary Smith studies the potential of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), brain stimulation technology, to help manage symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (PD). She explains how she and her team implement the technology, what positive results have been observed, what is anticipated for the future, and why her mother -- who...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for PD Nga Chau studies the potential of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), brain stimulation technology, to help manage symptoms of Parkinson's Disease (PD). She explains how she and her team implement the technology, what positive results have been observed, what is anticipated for the future, and why her mother -- who has Young-Onset PD -- is vehemently opposed to participation.Nga studied neuroscience at Franklin and Marshall College. She now works in research at Johns Hopkins Hospital, in their neurology department. With a team of neurologists and engineers, they are studying transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a form of brain stimulation technology, and its potential to treat symptoms of Parkinson's Disease. Nga's path and passion is largely influenced by her life experience caring for her mother, who suffers from Young-Onset Parkinson's. She is able to bring her academic and intimate ...
