Trains of Epidural DC Stimulation of the Cerebellum Tune Corticomotor Excitability

Figure 2

Box and whisker plots showing the effects of direct current stimulation applied over left cerebellar hemisphere on the slope between the first and the sixth points of the recruitment curve for left gastrocnemius muscle (a) and for left tibialis anterior muscle (b). Basal: values in basal condition; post-ADCS: values obtained after application of anodal direct current stimulation over the dura; post-CDCS: values obtained after application of cathodal direct current stimulation over the dura. Medians (continuous lines) and means (dashed lines) are illustrated, as well as outliers (corresponding to the 5th and 95th percentiles). Values at baseline and values post-CDCS are significantly higher as compared to the values obtained post-ADCS. ( rats).
