FIGURE 1.

A schematic diagram showing the setup of BtDCS application. The effect of BtDCS on NSC‐derived neuroblast migration was tested in the injured rat brain subjected to MCAO. A constant current stimulator was used. The electrodes were positioned on each side of the cranium over the temporal area in a symmetrical manner, with the cathodal electrode placed on the ischemic hemisphere and the anodal electrode on the contralateral hemisphere, which allowed the currents to pass through the SVZ. The contact area of the electrode toward the skull is 7.0 mm².
