The use of transcranial direct current stimulation in stroke rehabilitation: effects on mood and cognition
Background: Stroke is a high prevalence disorder causing a variety of motor, cognitive and affective symptoms, with a tremendous effect on quality of life. Despite the various stroke localizations, a similar pattern of cognitive deficit typically occurs, involving verbal memory, visuospatial skills and executive functioning. Growing evidence suggests, that non-invasive neuromodulation techniques serve as promising tools to enhance post-stroke cognitive rehabilitation.
