Anodal tDCS does not enhance the learning of the sequential finger-tapping task by motor imagery practice in healthy older adults

Abstract: BackgroundMotor imagery practice (MIP) and anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) are innovative methods with independent positive influence on motor sequence learning (MSL) in older adults.ObjectiveThe present study investigated the effect of MIP combined with a-tDCS over the primary motor cortex (M1) on the learning of a finger tapping sequence of the non-dominant hand in healthy older adults.MethodsThirty participants participated in this double-blind sham-controlled study. They performed t… Show more

“…We thus conducted a randomized controlled study aimed to investigate the cumulative effects of three consecutive daily sessions of MI in combination with either a-tDCS (active group) or sham tDCS (sham group) over the primary motor cortex, on learning a SFTT, in healthy older adults [ 7 ]. Both groups exhibited cumulative online gains over the course of the first two training sessions, with greater improvements in the first session compared to the second, and no additional gains during the third session.…”
