Abstract

Cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (c-tDCS) is a non-invasive brain stimulation technique that has been shown to acutely increase motor performance in healthy populations. Since altered cerebellum activity contributes to Parkinson’s disease (PD) pathology, anodal c-tDCS may improve motor function in PD.
