Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Modulates Neurogenesis and Microglia Activation in the Mouse Brain

Figure 1

Experimental setup for tDCS. (a) The anesthetized mouse was connected to the direct current stimulator (apparatus in the back) via a silver-coated electrode cable attached to the polycarbonate tube mounted on its skull. The cable protruding from under the mouse’ abdomen originates from the counter electrode. (b) The epicranial electrode (dashed circular line) was mounted on the intact skull using dental cement at the coordinates AP +0.5 mm and ML +1.5 mm from bregma.
