Neural Mechanism Underlying Task-Specific Enhancement of Motor Learning by Concurrent Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

The optimal protocol for neuromodulation by transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS)remains unclear.Using the rotarod paradigm,we found that mouse motor learning was enhanced by anodal tDCS(3.2 mA/cm2)during but not before or after the performance of a task.Dual-task experiments showed that motor learning enhance-ment was specific to the task accompanied by anodal tDCS.Studies using a mouse model of stroke induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion showed that concurrent anodal tDCS restored motor learning capability in a task-specific manner.Transcranial in vivo Ca2+imaging further showed that anodal tDCS elevated and cathodal tDCS suppressed neuronal activity in the primary motor cortex(M1).Anodal tDCS specifically promoted the activity of task-related M1 neurons during task performance,suggesting that elevated Hebbian synaptic potentiation in task-activated circuits accounts for the motor learning enhancement.Thus,appli-cation of tDCS concurrent with the targeted behavioral dysfunction could be an effective approach to treating brain disorders.
