FUNDING: MINECO-FEDER (Spain)

Date: 1/1/2018 – 9/30/2022


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
