This award funds a research project investigating the effects of DLPFC-targeted tDCS on cognition, neural oscillations, and GABA levels in individuals with schizophrenia to better understand and potentially improve cognitive control deficits associated with the disorder.
Description
Research project using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) to study cognitive control deficits in schizophrenia, focusing on stimulation-induced changes in neural oscillations and GABA levels. The study combines tDCS with electrophysiology (EEG) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) to examine neural activity changes related to cognitive control in schizophrenia.
