tDCS

Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) are a range of neurodevelopmental disorders, characterized by behavioral and neuronal anomalies. Phelan-McDermid Syndrome (PMS) constitutes a specific neurodevelopmental disorder exhibiting ASD-like behaviors, caused by mutations or deletions of SHANK3 gene. Mice lacking the SHANK3 gene are widely considered a reliable model to study PMS, since they show autism-like behaviors and sensory deficits, such as aberrant whisker-dependent texture discrimination and local hyperactivation of the barrel-field cortex. These local alterations mirror dysfunctions of the enti

…Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) targeting the ventromedial PFC (vmPFC) to understand whether this brain region occupies a crucial role in sustaining metacognition. A randomized, double-blind, within-subjects research design was u

…direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS).

…direct current stimulation (tACS and tDCS), are non-invasive brain stimulation technologies increasingly used for modulation of targeted neural and cognitive processes. Integration of tES with human functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides a novel avenue in human brain mapping for investigating the neural mechanisms underlying tES. Advances in the field of tES-fMRI can be hampered by the methodological variability between studies that confounds comparability/replicability. To address the t
