Full textHistorically, humans have sought various ways to improve their daily lives. With the current technological advances, this quest is facilitated, especially in the desire to increase their cognitive and / or motor skills. Neuro imagery now makes it possible to inform the areas activated during different functional tasks. Today, it is now possible to modulate brain activity by stimulating the brain locally with weak electrical currents. One of the most common techniques for this purpose is called tDCS for transcranial direct current stimulation. The polarity of the induced current (anodal or cathodal stimulation) allows to modulate upward or downward cortico-spinal excitability by depolarizing or hyperpolarizing the membrane of the neurons, respectively. Despite a growing interest of neuromodulation techniques via tDCS, the results reported by the scientific community are relatively heterogeneous. The work initiated at the beginning of the 2000s is called into question by current results showing a rather large inter and intra variability. This stumbling block requires the development of new protocols for the application of anodal tDCS (atDCS). In this thesis, we were interested in optimizing atDCS protocols in order to increase the persistence of the induced-neuroplastic effects and to increase the behavioral performances. Two studies were carried out in order to first reveal the impact from the motor task/atDCS coupling and then to highlight the cumulative effects of multiple motor-tDCS task sessions with priming atDCS on motor performance. The first study through the use of near infrared spectroscopy allowed to report various hemodynamic changes subsequent to the motor task/atDCS coupling with respect to independent and controlled stimulation protocols. The primacy of the concomitant use of tDCS with the motor task was revealed by the slightest activation of the sensorimotor cortex during stimulation and by an increased delayed cerebral activation which could represent a neuroplastic reorganization. The second study examined the effects of repeated atDCS sessions with anoadal or cathodal tDCS priming in order to improve the learning and retention gains of the sensorimotor system. TDCS priming was more favorable for repeated atDCS sessions to generate higher motor performances contrary to sham. The cathodal polarity produced prolonged persistence. The major findings of this work allow to support the concomitant use of atDCS with the motor task. Future research is needed to study the transfer of these results into the fields of coaching and rehabilitation

Full textTranscranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is used to modulate neuronal activity in the brain. It consists in applying a small constant current between two electrodes placed over the scalp. Two frontal tDCS montages have shown promises in modulating cognitive abilities and/or helping to alleviate clinical symptoms. However, the effects of tDCS on brain physiology are still poorly understood. The aim of this thesis work was to clarify brain mechanisms underlying frontal tDCS in healthy subjects, specifically in relation to the dopaminergic system. Using a double blind sham-controlled design, we combined a single session of tDCS online with several imaging techniques (PET or simultaneous PET-MRI) with the subject at rest. A first study (n=32, 2mA, 20min) showed that bifrontal tDCS induced an increase in extracellular dopamine in the ventral striatum, involved in the reward-motivation network, after the stimulation period. A second study (n=30, 1mA, 30min) showed that fronto-temporal tDCS induced an increase in extracellular dopamine in the executive part of striatum as well as a decrease in perfusion in a region part of the default mode network (DMN), after the stimulation period. The data analysis of this study is still ongoing. Overall, the present work provides evidence that a single session of frontal tDCS impacts the dopaminergic system in regions connected to the stimulated cortical areas. Therefore, levels of dopamine activity and reactivity should be new elements to consider for a general hypothesis of brain modulation by frontal tDCS

Full textManual dexterity, the ability to manipulate objects with the hands, and the related position sense, or proprioception, are often impaired after stroke. Associative stimulation of motor points (MPAS) in hand muscles is known to modify motor cortex excitability and improve manual dexterity (McDonnell and Ridding, 2006).
However, it is not known whether the effect of this peripheral stimulation can be increased by central stimulation of sensorimotor cortex, in terms of function, proprioception, or cortical neurophysiology. Here we compare the functional and neurophysiological consequences of MPAS with and without transcranial direct current (tDCS) in healthy adults. MPAS was applied to two right hand muscles important for manual dexterity: APB and FDI. tDCS, a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, was simultaneously applied over left sensorimotor cortex. Both techniques stimulate motor as well as somatosensory pathways. Neurophysiological measures of motor cortex, including SICI (short intra-cortical inhibition), ICF (intracortical facilitation), and input/output (I/O) curve, were assessed with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Manual dexterity and proprioceptive acuity were also measured. 14 subjects completed 3 sessions of MPAS in combination with sham, anodal (excitatory) and cathodal (inhibitory) tDCS. 13 subjects completed 2 sessions of sham MPAS with sham or anodal tDCS. In combination with MPAS, anodal tDCS significantly increased the plateau of manual dexterity, increased cortical response to TMS, and tended to improve proprioceptive acuity compared to sham tDCS. The neural basis for the observed functional improvements may thus include somatosensory as well as motor cortex. Neither MPAS nor tDCS alone had any measurable effect. These results suggest that adding tDCS as a central intervention to complement peripheral MPAS may be a promising avenue of treatment for patients with impaired manual dexterity.

Full textNon-invasive brain stimulation techniques have recently become popular in the treatment of neurological diseases and disorders. Transcranial direct current stimulation [tDCS] is a method of brain stimulation whereby direct electrical current is passed through the intact scalp into the nervous tissue, producing lasting changes in neural activity of the stimulated areas. The polarity, or direction, of current flow in relation to the orientation of neural networks determines whether neuronal activity is enhanced or inhibited. The lasting increases or decreases in neuronal activity produced by tDCS have been used to shape cognitive function in various neurological diseases and disorders, including stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and depression. Currently, the mechanism of action for the effects caused by tDCS is not well understood. The goal of this thesis is to evaluate the efficacy of tDCS as a therapy for these brain disorders. The vast majority of these studies found strong and largely consistent evidence for the improvement of symptoms following tDCS for periods lasting up to several weeks when applied appropriately. While further refinement is needed to expand the effectiveness of tDCS treatment, the future looks promising.

CAPES
A presente dissertação apresenta dois estudos com o intuito de avançar no conhecimento das repercussões das estimulações cerebelares no aprendizado motor e equilíbrio de indivíduos saudáveis. O estudo 1 se propôs a investigar os efeitos polaridade-dependentes da estimulação transcraniana por corrente contínua cerebelar (ETCCc) no equilíbrio de indivíduos saudáveis. O estudo 2, verificou os efeitos da ETCCc e da estimulação magnética transcraniana repetitiva cerebelar (EMTr-c) no aprendizado motor de saudáveis. No primeiro estudo, 15 voluntárias saudáveis e destras foram submetidas a três sessões de ETCCc (anódica, catódica e sham) no hemisfério cerebelar direito em ordem contrabalanceada. Em cada sessão, o equilíbrio estático e dinâmico foi avaliado pela ferramenta Biodex Balance System antes e após cada estimulação, através dos testes Athlete Single Leg Stability e Limits of Stability. Os resultados apontaram para uma piora no equilíbrio estático após a ETCCc catódica, avaliado pelo Athlete Single Leg Stability do membro inferior esquerdo em comparação com os valores basais (p=0,01) e com a ETCCc sham (p=0,04). Dessa forma, é possível afirmar que a ETCCc catódica foi capaz de interferir no equilíbrio estático de indivíduos saudáveis. O segundo estudo foi realizado com 18 voluntários destros, submetidos a seis sessões em ordem contrabalanceada. As sessões consistiram na aplicação dos seguintes protocolos sobre o hemisfério cerebelar esquerdo: (i) ETCCc anódica; (ii) ETCCc catódica; (iii) ETCCc sham; (iv) EMTr-c 10 Hz; (v) EMTr-c 1 Hz e (vi) EMTr-c sham. O aprendizado motor online (durante a estimulação) e offline (após a estimulação) foi avaliado através do teste de reação serial (aquisição e evocação) e teste de escrita (duração total e precisão do movimento), respectivamente. Foi observado que para o aprendizado motor online, as EMTr-c 1 Hz (p=0,018) e 10 Hz (p=0,010) e ETCCc catódica (p=0,001) foram capazes de alterar a aquisição, enquanto que todas as estimulações (p<0,05), com exceção da anódica (p=0,126), foram capazes de interferir na evocação da sequência aprendida. Em relação ao aprendizado motor offline, houve redução da duração total da escrita para todas as condições de estimulação (p<0,05). Para a precisão do movimento, houve melhora apenas para as condições: ETCCc anódica (p=0,003), EMTr-c 1 Hz (p=0,006) e 10 Hz (p=0,014). Portanto, a EMTr-c parece melhorar o aprendizado motor independente da frequência de estimulação e do momento da execução da tarefa (online ou offline). Por outro lado, o efeito da ETCCc mostra-se polaridade-dependente, visto que apenas a ETCCc anódica melhorou o aprendizado offline e a catódica apresentou melhores resultados para o aprendizado online.
This dissertation comprises two studies in order to understand the effects of cerebellar stimulations on motor learning and postural balance of healthy individuals. The first experiment (study 1) aimed to investigate the polarity-dependent effects of cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (ctDCS) on postural balance in healthy volunteers. The second experiment (study 2) aimed to evaluate ctDCS and cerebellar repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (c-rTMS) effects on motor learning in healthy individuals. In the first study, 15 righ-handed healthy volunteers were submitted to three ctDCS sessions (anodal, cathodal and sham) in a counterbalanced order. In each session, static and dynamic balance were evaluated by the Biodex Balance System before and after each stimulation through the Athlete Single Leg Stability and Limits of Stability tests. It was found a worsening static balance after cathodal ctDCS, assessed by Left Athlete Single Leg Stability test when compared to baseline (p=0.01) and sham stimulation (p=0.04). Thus, it is reasonable to assume that cathodal ctDCS was able to interfere on static balance in healthy individuals. The second experiment (study 2) was performed with 18 righthanded volunteers submitted to six session in a counterbalanced order. In each session, the left cerebellar hemisphere was modulated by the following protocols: (i) Anodal ctDCS; (ii) Cathodal ctDCS; (iii) Sham ctDCS; (iv) 10 Hz c-rTMS; (v) 1 Hz crTMS and (vi) Sham c-rTMS. Motor learning was evaluated during (online) or after (offline) stimulation protocols by the serial reaction test (acquisition and evoking phases) and handwriting test (duration and movement precision), respectively. It was observed that for online motor learning, 1 Hz c-rTMS (p=0.018) and 10 Hz (p=0.010) and also cathodal ctDCS (p=0.001), were able to interfere on acquisition phase. All stimulations (p<0.05) except for anodal ctDCS (p=0.126) were able to interfere when the learned sequence was evoked. Regarding offline motor learning, results revealed a reduction of duration for all stimulation conditions. However, for movement precision it was found an improvement for anodal ctDCS (p=0.003), 1 Hz c-rTMS (p=0.006) and 10 Hz c-rTMS (p=0.014). Therefore, c-rTMS seems to improve motor learning independently of stimulation frequency and time (online or offline). On the other hand, ctDCS effects were polarity-dependent since anodal ctDCS was capable to modulate offline learning, while cathodal ctDCS showed better results for online motor learning performance.
