  13. Y P Enhancement of Explicit Learning O C Enhancement of explicit learning consolidation T • during sleep (Marshall et al., 2004) O – List of words presented to subjects N tDCS of bilateral DLPFC during slow wave sleep O – Enhanced recall of words D E S A E tDCS of right temporoparietal area L enhances memory of object locations after a 1 week delay (Flöel et al., 2012) P – However, no difference in immediate acquisition

  14. Y P O Physiology of Learning Enhancement C • Clark et al. found T tNAA improvement in spatial O learning with tDCS N to right parietal cortex (2012) O • They then use magnetic D resonance spectroscopy to measure metabolites under Glx E anode (2011) S • Elevations in: A – Glutamine/glutamate (Glx) E – N-acetylaspartate/N- L acetylaspartylglutamate P (tNAA)

  15. Y P O Physiology of Learning Enhancement C • Glx T – Glutamate (Glu) is major excitatory O neurotransmitter N – Metabolized to glutamine (Gln) – Glutamate binds to NMDA receptor O for excitation, long-term potentiation D – NMDA antagonists suppress tDCS effects, while NMDA agonists enhance tDCS effects (Clark et al., 2011) E • tNAA S http://www.cnsspectrums.com/userdocs/ArticleImages/1105cns.acsupp02.gif – Thought to be related to neuronal A energy status E – May be due to increased metabolic L activity from increased glutamatergic activity P
