摘要: Background Most tobacco smokers who wish to quit fail reach their goal. One important, insufficiently emphasized aspect of addiction relates the decision-making system, often characterized by dysfunctional cognitive control and a powerful drive for reward. Recent proof-of-principle studies indicate that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) can transiently modulate processes involved in decision-making, reduce substance intake craving various addictions. We previously proposed this beneficial effect reducing addictive behaviors is part mediated more reflective decision-making. The goal study was test whether nicotine are modulated tDCS DLPFC wished smoking.
