Effects of transcranial electrical stimulation on neuronal spatiotemporal dynamics, glial cell activation, and learning and memory processes in mice. (E-Brain)
The main goal of this project is to gain a deeper understanding of the basic cellular mechanisms underlying the effects of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) in animal models.

FUNDING: Andalussian Government – FEDER (Spain)
Date: 1/01/2020 – 31/12/2021
The impact of cerebellar tDCS in local and downstream brain circuits: how much is neural activity modulated in the resting state and during sensoriomotor processing?
The goal of this project is to fill this gap in knowledge by using a new device to deliver cerebellar tDCS pulses in awake mice.
