In the last decades interest in application of non-invasive brain stimulation for enhancing neural functions is growing continuously. However, the use of such techniques in pediatric populations remains rather limited and mainly confined to the treatment of severe neurological and psychiatric diseases. In this article we provide a complete review of non-invasive brain stimulation studies conducted in pediatric populations. We also provide a brief discussion about the current limitations and future directions in a field of research still very young and full of issues to be explored.
在过去几十年中,人们对应用非侵入性脑刺激来增强神经功能的兴趣持续增长。然而,这类技术在儿科人群中的应用仍然相当有限,主要局限于治疗严重的神经和精神疾病。在本文中,我们全面回顾了在儿科人群中进行的非侵入性脑刺激研究。我们还简要讨论了这个仍处于起步阶段且充满有待探索问题的研究领域当前的局限性和未来方向。
