Transcranial electrical stimulation (tES – tDCS; tRNS, tACS) methods
Weak transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) with a homogenous DC field at intensities of around 1 mA induces long-lasting changes in the brain. tDCS can be used to manipulate brain excitability via membrane polarisation: cathodal stimulation hyperpolarises, while anodal stimulation depolarises the resting membrane potential, whereby the induced

Are we really targeting and stimulating DLPFC by placing transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) electrodes over F3/F4? [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundIn many clinical trials involving transcranial electrical stimulation (tES), target electrodes are typically placed over DLPFC with the assumption that this will primarily stimulate the underlying brain region. However, our study aimed to evaluate the electric fields (EF) that are actually delivered and identify prefrontal regions ...

Head-to-head comparison of transcranial random noise stimulation, transcranial AC stimulation and transcranial DC stimulation for tinnitus [PDF]
Tinnitus is the perception of a sound in the absence of an external sound stimulus. This phantom sound has been related to plastic changes and hyperactivity in the auditory cortex.

Modulating excitation/inhibition balance through transcranial electrical stimulation: physiological mechanisms in animal models [PDF]
The balance between excitatory and inhibitory (E/I) activity is a fundamental property of neural circuits, ensuring precise information processing and preventing pathological states such as hyperexcitability or network silencing.
