Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) and Physiotherapy

Non-invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) and Physiotherapy: Non-pharmacological Interventions for Neurological and Neuropsychiatric Disorders is the first book to provide an in-depth review of how rehabilitative therapy combined with Non-invasive Brain Stimulation (NIBS) can treat patients diagnosed with certain neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders. This book explores concepts in neuroanatomy, motor control and motor learning, and motor development. Each chapter covers mechanisms underlying the synergistic effects of NIBS and rehabilitative training on synaptic and network plasticity. Chapters considers the mechanisms of recovery with respect to neural plasticity and proposed targets for future trials, as well as protocol design. This book is a useful resource for developmental psychologists, physiotherapists, neurologists, and other researchers devoted to brain development and memory formation, as well as those working in the fields of molecular neurology and behavioral and biological sciences.

• Illustrates how to harness neuroplasticity to treat patient diagnosed with neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders
• Explores exercises and physiotherapy with tDCS in Parkinson’s disease, Multiple Sclerosis, and Psychiatric Disorders
