    Given the importance of the DLPFC to a range of cognitive functions, with abnormalities within this region being implicated in a number of psychiatric and neurological disorders, there is a clear need to refine methods for modulating DLPFC function (Stuss and Levine, 2002; Tekin and Cummings, 2002). This is particularly important in light of the growing number of studies demonstrating considerable inter- and intra-subject variability in response to plasticity inducing paradigms (Hamada et al., 2013; Hordacre et al., 2015). Our use of a within-subjects crossover experimental design, which also controlled for any potential time-of-day effects by testing all participants in the early morning, is likely to have helped control for some variability.

  • Brain networks and their relevance for stroke rehabilitation

    Citation Excerpt :

    One of the main difficulties with NIBS consists in an individually variable behavioural response, which limits the overall effect size. One main reason for this variability is that the expected inhibition or excitation does in fact not occur in all patients and can be even be paradoxically inverted (Hamada et al., 2013; Wiethoff et al., 2014; Hordacre et al., 2015; Li et al., 2015; Nicolo et al., 2015a; Vallence et al., 2015). This applies also to changes in FC, such that disruptions of FC can occur instead of the expected enhancements or vice versa (Rizk et al., 2013; Nicolo et al., 2016).
