Effects of non-invasive electrical stimulation on neural and behavioural changes following photothrombotic ischemic stroke

Stroke is a major cause of long-term disability worldwide, however, current therapeutics are limited. Decreases in neuronal oscillatory power, particularly in the gamma frequency band, are commonly seen following ischemia. Previous research in mice has demonstrated that optogenetic stimulation in this gamma frequency range, specifically at 40Hz, is beneficial for recovery post-stroke. However, this treatment option is not easily translated to human patients. Here we investigated the effects of 40Hz non-invasive electrical brain stimulation as a potential therapeutic to restore motor impairment
