26th February 2021
Chang-Hoon Choi, Elene Iordanishvili, N. Jon Shah, Ferdinand Binkofski
This systematic review summarises recent literature studying the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on neurometabolites in the human brain as measured by proton or phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) and provides clear evidence for the potential of using tDCS and MRS to examine and understand the effect of neurometabolites in the in vivo human brain.
It is expected that the information in the review will provide useful guidance for potential investigations relating to the effects of tDCS on neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression and schizophrenia, as well as on epilepsy, stroke-induced aphasia and Parkinson's motor symptoms.
