Calcium imaging reveals glial involvement in transcranial direct current stimulation-induced plasticity in mouse brain
While transcranical direct current stimulation (tDCS) is used in clinical setting, its cellular mechanism of action is unclear. Here, Hajime Hirase and colleagues visualize cellular response in mouse brain to tDCS and show robust astrocyte activation that coincide with plasticity changes.
