Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS)

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive procedure that uses a low electrical current applied through electrodes on the scalp to modulate brain activity. By adjusting the flow of electrical signals, tDCS can enhance or suppress activity in specific brain regions, potentially improving functions like learning, memory, or mood. It's commonly used in research and therapy for conditions such as depression or cognitive rehabilitation, and is generally safe when administered properly. The technique leverages the brain's natural neuroplasticity, helping it to reorganize and adapt more effectively.
