Resumen:

In order to understand the changes in behavior and cortical activity related to neurodegenerative diseases (ND) it is important to know the changes that take place in the sleep cycle and structure, as well as the electrophysiological changes that occur due to aging, since they can serve as a guide for the creation of simple and easy to implement treatments. Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) and Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) are non-invasive methods of brain stimulation used to explore neurophysiological mechanisms such as cortical inhibition, excitability and plasticity. Electrical modulation of cortical activity can benefit patients with sleep disorders and, as is the case with other neurophysiological methods, it is considered safe as well as effective. © 2020 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
