Official Title: Is Nociceptive Processing Evoked by Heat Homeostatically Regulated: A Contact-heat Evoked Potentials Study

Brief Summary: Homeostatic plasticity is a mechanism that stabilizes neuronal activity to prevent excessive nervous system excitability.This mechanism can be investigated in humans by applying two blocks of non-invasive brain stimulation, such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).In healthy subjects, homeostatic plasticity induction over the primary motor cortex increases the amplitude of motor-evoked potentials after the first block of excitatory tDCS, which then decreases after the second block of excitatory…
