Targeted brain stimulation to ameliorate vigilance in stroke: a combined tDCS-fMRI approach

A stroke can affect widely-distributed cortical/subcortical brain networks, causing behavioural deficits. Right frontoparietal networks are key in maintaining attentional focus over time, and right-hemispheric damage typically impairs vigilance.
