摘要: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a form of non-invasive neuromodulation that increasingly being utilized to examine and modify several cognitive motor functions. Although tDCS holds great potential, it difficult determine optimal treatment procedures accommodate configurations, the complex shapes, dramatic conductivity differences among various tissues. Furthermore, recent demonstrations showed up 75% applied rodents human cadavers was shunted by scalp, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, bringing effects on cortex into question. Consequently, essential combine with neuroimaging complement animal cadaver studies clarify if how can affect neural function. One viable approach positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. PET has unique potential for examining within central nervous system in vivo, including cerebral metabolism, neuroreceptor occupancy, neurotransmitter activity/binding. The focus this review emerging role radiotracers studying tDCS-induced functional changes brain.
