Trains of Epidural DC Stimulation of the Cerebellum Tune Corticomotor Excitability

Figure 3

Box and whisker plots showing the effects of direct current stimulation applied over left cerebellar hemisphere on the amplitudes of corticomotor responses. Left and right panels correspond to values from left gastrocnemius muscle (a) and right gastrocnemius muscle (b), respectively. 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). In left gastrocnemius muscle, values at baseline and values after CDCS are significantly higher as compared to the values obtained after ADCS. ( rats).
