Single-session transcranial direct current stimulation induces enduring enhancement of visual processing speed in patients with major depression

Abstract: Attentional deficits are considered key cognitive symptoms in major depressive disorder (MDD) arising from abnormal activation patterns within dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) alertness networks. Altering these activity patterns with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) might thus ameliorate alertness-dependent cognitive deficits in MDD patients. In a double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled study, we investigated the effect of a single session of anodal tDCS (2 mA) applied to the left dlPFC o… Show more

“…Furthermore, iFC in the cingulo-opercular network is known to relate not only to cognitive measures, but also to anxiety (Seeley et al, 2007). As anxiety might influence visual processing speed, as indicated, for example, by reduced processing speed C in patients with major depression (Gögler et al, 2017), we analyzed whether anxiety might be a critical confound in our findings.…”

“…20 patients with a ICD-10 diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizophrenia-spectrum disorder (F20 = 19; F25 = 1), recruited from the Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (LMU Munich), and the same 20, demographically matched, healthy controls that participated in our previous study ( 18 ), were included in the investigation (see Tables 1 and 2 for demographic and clinical data). The diagnoses, according to the WHO ICD-10 criteria for schizophrenia or schizophrenia-spectrum disorder, were made by two clinical psychiatrists of whom one (Alkomiet Hasan) is a member of this study group.…”
