Transcranial direct current stimulation: A new tool for the treatment of depression
Journal of Affective Disorders, 09/08/09
Arul–Anandam AP et al. – Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non–invasive brain stimulation technique that applies mild (typically 1–2 mA) direct currents via the scalp to enhance or diminish neuronal excitability. The technique has a dual function: on the one hand, it has been used to investigate the functions of various cortical regions; on the other, it has been used as an experimental treatment modality, most notably for Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). With the growing utility of tDCS in psychiatry, it is important from the vantage of safety and effectiveness to understand its underlying neurobiological mechanisms.
