Explore the impact of visual cortex tDCS on reading performance in individuals with central vision loss due to macular degeneration. A recent study found a significant interaction between stimulation type and writing system, with active stimulation increasing reading accuracy for English sentences but not for Chinese characters. Further research is needed to fully understand the effects of tDCS in enhancing vision rehabilitation programs for macular degeneration.

The effect of event-related transcranial direct current stimulation (er-TDCS) applied during a motor adaptation task was investigated in this study. The results show that cerebellar stimulation in short epochs, applied coincidentally with movement, selectively enhanced movement learning while M1 stimulation showed no effect. This suggests the potential for cerebellar stimulation to influence timing-dependent mechanisms of plasticity and facilitate motor learning.
