tDCS Stroke publications by type, for motor-limb and aphasia. Source: PubMed. (Search criteria: tDCS/motor/stroke, tDCS/motor/stroke/review, tDCS/aphasia, tDCS/aphasia/review)

**Figure 3. Timeline of tDCS Limb vs. Language Studies**
Considerable data has been collected regarding the effects of tDCS on healthy motor physiology vs. the effects of tDCS upon healthy language networks. Source: PubMed. (Search criteria: tDCS/motor, tDCS/motor/stroke, tDCS/aphasia, tDCS/language)
