Topic: anodal tDCS

This study explores the impact of anodal tDCS on WM deficits induced by stress. We know from previous research that stress conditions lead to deficits in WM performance by reducing WM-related activity in the brain. Specifically, the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) is heavily involved in WM processes, and the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) plays a crucial role in stress regulation and has been associated with positive emotions during stress recovery. Given these findings, we aimed to determine the most effective stimulation region for alleviating WM deficits caused by psychologic

Exposure-based therapies can be highly effective for patients with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but up to one third of patients do not respond adequately. Repeated exposure to fear-evoking cues is hypothesized to suppress fear responses through the acquisition and recall of new safety learning in a process termed fear extinction. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has gained interest as a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that may suppress fear expression or augment fear extinction. We previously established that in mice, repeated anodal tDCS applied over the prefront
