Dr. Güven Akçay received his PhD in Biophysics from the Institute of Health Sciences at Akdeniz University in 2020. He is an academic staff member at the Department of Biophysics, Faculty of Medicine, Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University, Turkey. His research focuses on therapeutic strategies for neurological disorders such as cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy. In particular, he investigates the mechanisms underlying motor and cognitive dysfunctions following cerebral palsy and explores treatment approaches involving transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and smart drug delivery systems. His work combines neurophysiological, electrophysiological, and biophysical techniques to develop innovative interventions targeting neural recovery and neuroplasticity.

Collection Overview

Neuromodulation has emerged as a promising therapeutic approach for a wide range of neurological disorders that are resistant to conventional treatments. Noninvasive techniques such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and peripheral nerve stimulation have shown potential in restoring neural network balance, enhancing neuroplasticity, and improving motor and cognitive functions, particularly in conditions such as cerebral ischemia, Parkinson's, traumatic brain injury, and epilepsy.


This Methods Collection aims to provide the neuroscience community with standardized, peer-reviewed protocols that detail the application of neuromodulation techniques in both preclinical and clinical settings. By offering high-quality, step-by-step visual demonstrations, the collection will help researchers accurately replicate experimental procedures, optimize stimulation parameters, and evaluate functional outcomes. In addition, the collection seeks to bridge the gap between experimental neurotechnology and translational neuroscience by promoting reproducibility, transparency, and methodological rigor.


Through this visual and methodological resource, researchers, clinicians, and students will gain valuable insights into implementing neuromodulation strategies and their potential for therapeutic innovation. Ultimately, this collection is expected to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and accelerate progress in neurorehabilitation.
