DOI: 10.1007/s00221-024-06790-2
Abstract: Transcutaneous spinal stimulation (TSS) studies rely on the depolarization of afferent fibers to provide input to the spinal cord; however, this has not been routinely ascertained. Thus, we aimed to characterize the types of responses… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.brainres.2019.146564
Abstract: It has long been assumed that the language function is hierarchically organized into specific cortical areas. Here, for the first time, we present direct evidence that the spinal cord takes part in language processing. In… read more here.

DOI: 10.1089/brain.2017.0505
Abstract: Transcutaneous spinal direct current stimulation (tsDCS) is a noninvasive method that can modulate spinal reflexes, sensory afferent conduction, and even pain perception. Although neurophysiological evidence suggests that tsDCS alters somatosensory and nociceptive afferent conduction to… read more here.
