**4. Conclusion**

The therapeutic benefit of electrical stimulation to neurological diseases was reviewed in terms of the enhancement of endogenous stem cells. Electrical stimulation was demonstrated to play a neuroprotective and/or neurorescue effect in the ischemia model of animals. For intact animals, LTP is most effective at activating hippocampal latent stem cells. Electrical stimula‐ tion should be considered a possible therapeutic method in the future, although further studies and ethical consensus are required before use in the clinical setting.
