Rehabilitation of cognitive functions is a primary goal in neurological and psychiatric settings. Cognitive treatments include individual and group exercises, as well as the use of computer programs and virtual reality. Besides, ongoing studies have been examining the clinical usefulness of non-invasive cerebral cortex stimulation in increasing the efficacy of cognitive protocols. Cognitive rehabilitation is based on neuroplasticity and affects brain morphological and physiological responses by integration of behavioral and cognitive changes. The brain correlates of rehabilitation-induced modifications can be investigated through magnetic resonance imaging, both at structural and functional macro-levels. Animal research can integrate such information providing data on axonal regrowth and reshaping of synaptic connectivity in response to treatment. Animal models of neurological and psychiatric conditions have been developed, and preclinical test batteries for the assessment of cognitive functions in animal models of such conditions have been created. The question is then: how does rehabilitation drive reorganization at the neuronal level? The focus of this Research Topic is on rehabilitation-induced cognitive and neural plasticity in adult humans and animal models. The goal is to provide an integrated picture highlighting what techniques have been proven to be effective.

This feasibility and neurophysiological study aims to compare the effects of four types of stimulation - tDCS combined with music, tDCS combined with white noise, music alone (sham tDCS), white noise alone (sham tDCS) – on cognitive and neurophysiological outcomes in healthy participants, with the hypothesis that tDCS and music combined might improve cognitive functions (tested with the Stroop test and the 3-back test) compared to the other conditions, and thus, could be tested as a therapeutic option for patients with altered states of consciousness in the future. This study shows that in healthy subjects, a single session of tDCS combined with music does not increase cognitive functions, as hypothesized. Nonetheless, using music alone instead seems to be promising for increasing brain activity related to cognitive performances by means of an increase in frequencies associated with cognition. Even if the results might be promising, they come from a relatively small sample of 23 subjects and might not be sufficient to represent the general population.
