Popis: | Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been shown to modulate corticospinal excitability. We used near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) - electroencephalography (EEG) joint-imaging during and after anodal tDCS to measure changes in mean cerebral haemoglobin oxygen saturation (rSO2) along with changes in the log-transformed mean-power of EEG within 0.5 Hz – 11.25 Hz. In two separate studies, we investigated local post-tDCS alterations from baseline at the site of anodal tDCS using NIRS-EEG/tDCS joint-imaging as well as local post-tDCS alterations in motor evoked potentials (MEP)-measure of corticospinal excitability. In the first study, we found that post-tDCS changes in the mean rSO2 from baseline mostly correlated with the corresponding post-tDCS change in log-transformed mean-power of EEG within 0.5 Hz – 11.25 Hz. Moreover, a decrease in log-transformed mean-power of EEG within 0.5 Hz – 11.25 Hz corresponded with an increase in the MEP-measure of corticospinal excitability - found in the second study. Therefore, we propose to combine NIRS-EEG/tDCS joint-imaging with corticospinal excitability investigation in a single study to confirm these finding. Furthermore, we postulate that the innovative technologies for portable NIRS-EEG neuroimaging may be leveraged to objectively quantify the progress (e.g., corticospinal excitability alterations) and dose tDCS intervention as an adjuvant treatment during neurorehabilitation. |
