This lecture delves into the biomechanisms underlying the effects of tDCS. The goal of the lecture is to illustrate the different mechanisms, like membrane potential alterations and synaptic plasticity, underlying the acute and long-term effects of tDCS.

At the end of this lecture, students will be able to describe the potential ways in which tDCS interacts with neural activity, and use this knowledge to carefully interpret tDCS study findings.

Topics covered in this lesson
  • Exploration of biomechanisms underlying effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS).
  • Illustration of different mechanisms, including membrane potential alterations and synaptic plasticity, contributing to acute and long-term effects of tDCS.
