“…While the precise neural effects of tDCS are highly complex and likely to depend on factors such as the orientation of somatodendritic and axonal axes relative to the electric field as well as non‐linear effects of stimulation intensity (Bikson et al ., ; Radman et al ., ; Kabakov et al ., ; Batsikadze et al ., ), placing the anodal tDCS electrode over a brain area is generally thought to induce a lasting increase in brain activity under the electrode, while cathodal tDCS generally reduces neural excitability (Bindman et al ., ; Purpura & McMurtry, ; Nitsche & Paulus, ; Stagg & Nitsche, ). TDCS effects outlast the period of stimulation and, as with other neurostimulation techniques, a greater number of stimulation sessions is thought to increase the efficacy and size of the effect (Valero‐Cabré et al ., ; Reis et al ., ; Afifi et al ., ; Monte‐Silva et al ., ). This characteristic could be utilised to promote neuroplastic mechanisms and restore function after cerebral damage.…”
