P 155. Serial anodal tDCS over V1 induces long-term effects on colour discrimination in V4 measured in the unimpaired hemifield of patients with occipital stroke

Conclusion: Long-term modulation in colour perception following serial anodal tDCS may represent evidence of inducible long-term plasticity in distantly connected components of the visual system (V1 and V4) in patients with occipital stroke measured in the unimpaired hemifield. This builds on studies describing the immediate effects of tDCS in the visual system in healthy volunteers. The temporal dynamics of serial anodal tDCS seem to interact with learning processes, and may yield potential support for neuroplastic adaptation processes following cerebral lesions. Future studies should examine the long-term outcomes and dynamics of tDCS-induced neuromodulation.
