The highly downregulated genes in the stimulation group after tDCS were CHK, Crk, Rap1, p38, Ras, and NF-kB. Conclusion: In this study, we confirmed that SOS, Raf, PI3K, Rac1, IRAK, and Bax were upregulated and that CHK, Crk, Rap1, p38, Ras, and NF-kB were downregulated in a rat model of IH-induced brain injury after application of tDCS. Here, BAX is linked to brain injury.
