Magnetic and Electrical Stimulation in the Treatment of Aphasia

Transcription

1 Magnetic and Electrical Stimulation in the Treatment of Aphasia Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tdcs) No financial conflicts Roy Hamilton, MD, MS, FAAN, FANA Associate Professor of Neurology & Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation University of Pennsylvania Uses Faraday principle Induces current in neurons Neurons fire (depolarize) Focally alters brain activity Direct current via electrodes Subthreshold stimulation Changes firing rates Numerous practical advantages How do intact cognitive systems work? Reorganized How do Systems injured systems differ from Using brain stimulation normal systems? to better understand AND treat neurologic Normal Systems disorders Cognitive Outcomes Can we facilitate reorganization of injured neural systems? Does it work? Hypothesis-guided Neuromodulation Poeppel D., Current Opinions in Neurobiology, 214 Turkeltaub et al.

Focal manipulation of a noisy node with TMS enhances language performance. Network control properties may inform which are the best nodes to manipulate. Diffuse DC stimulation may facilitate recovery in post-stoke aphasia and PPA. Faculty Roy Hamilton, MD, MS H.
