Summary
The purpose of this research is to determine whether athletes with concussion have changes in cortical excitability. Single and paired transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) can be used as reliable neurophysiological marker of motor cortex reorganization in athletes with concussions. This study also aims to determine whether modulation of cortical activity by a powerful technique of noninvasive brain stimulation (tDCS) results in a different cortical response as compared with sham tDCS.
Detailed description
This study is a multicenter study with investigators from other institutions (Dr. Alvaro Pascual-Leone and Dr. Hugo Theoret).
