| dc.description.abstracten | Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of the cerebellum is emerging as a novel
non-invasive tool to modulate the activity of the cerebellar circuitry. In a single blinded
study, we applied anodal tDCS (atDCS) of the cerebellum to assess its effects on brain
entropy and brain rhythms during self-paced sequential finger movements in a group
of healthy volunteers. Although wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) systems cannot
compete with traditional clinical/laboratory set-ups in terms of accuracy and channel
density, they have now reached a sufficient maturity to envision daily life applications.
Therefore, the EEG was recorded with a comfortable and easy to wear 14 channels
wireless helmet (Epoc headset; electrode location was based on the 10–20 system).
Cerebellar neurostimulation modified brain rhythmicity with a decrease in the delta band
(electrode F3 and T8, p < 0.05). By contrast, our study did not show any significant
change in entropy ratios and laterality coefficients (LC) after atDCS of the cerebellum in
the 14 channels. The cerebellum is heavily connected with the cerebral cortex including
the frontal lobes and parietal lobes via the cerebello-thalamo-cortical pathway. We
propose that the effects of anodal stimulation of the cerebellar cortex upon cerebral
cortical rhythms are mediated by this key-pathway. Additional studies using high-density
EEG recordings and behavioral correlates are now required to confirm our findings,
especially given the limited coverage of Epoc headset. | en_US |
