In reply to tDCS as add-on treatment for bipolar I and II, posted by Hugh on January 26, 2018, at 13:34:11
This direct evidence of EFs [electric fields] occurring inside the living human brain when tDCS [transcranial direct current stimulation] is applied through the scalp dispels the previous belief that most of the current is shunted before it penetrates the skull and only reaches the cortex. In addition, it provides real human data against which modeling assumptions can be tested. Feng anticipates that the information from this study and his next investigations to validate and optimize current tDCS modeling will greatly advance the field.
