EFFECTS OF CEREBELLAR TRANSCRANIAL DIRECT CURRENT STIMULATION ON UPPER LIMB MOTOR FUNCTION AFTER STROKE: STUDY PROTOCOL FOR THE PILOT OF A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL

Abstract Background Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a technique that can noninvasively modulate neural states in a targeted brain region.As cerebellar activity levels are associated with upper limb motor improvement after stroke, the cerebellum is a plausible target of tDCS.However, the effect of tDCS remains unclear.Here, we desi

Abstract Background The adjustment of sex ratios in birds can occur at the egg and nestling stages.Previous studies showed that the sex ratio was affected by environmental factors and parental condition; it may result in seasonal and ecosystem differences.Methods In this study, the brood sex ratio of the Yellow-bellied Prinia (Prinia flaviventris)
