Effects of online and offline trigeminal nerve stimulation on visuomotor learning.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A current thrust in neurology involves using exogenous neuromodulation of cranial nerves (e.g, vagus, trigeminal) to treat the signs and symptoms of various neurological disorders. These techniques also have the potential to augment cognitive and/or sensorimotor functions in healthy individuals. Although much is known about the clinical effects of trigeminal nerve stimulation (TNS), effects on sensorimotor and cognitive functions such as learning have received less attention, despite their potential impact on neurorehabilitation. Here we describe the results of experiments aimed at assessing the effects of TNS on motor learning, which was behaviorally characterized using an upper extremity visuomotor adaptation paradigm.

Objective

Assessing the effects of TNS on
