Modulating transcallosal and intrahemispheric brain connectivity with tDCS: Implications for interventions in Aphasia.

CONCLUSION: Using an MR-compatible DC stimulator we showed that ASL-MRI can detect tDCS-induced modulation of brain connectivity within and between hemispheres. These findings might affect trial designs focusing on modulating the non-dominant hemisphere to enhance language/speech-motor functions.
