Modulating eating behavior with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS): A systematic literature review on the impact of eating behavior traits

Jordan D. Beaumont et al.

Summary: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) may have an effect on eating behaviors depending on participants' eating behavior traits, with studies showing a more significant impact on trait groups and little to no response in healthy individuals.

Neuromodulation and Eating Disorders

L. Gallop et al.

Summary: This review evaluates the use of neuromodulation for treating eating disorders, specifically anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. The majority of studies focus on severe cases of anorexia nervosa, and suggest that methods such as rTMS and DBS have therapeutic potential. However, more high-quality clinical trials are needed to investigate different stimulation methods and the mechanisms of action.

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation as an Approach to Mitigate Neurodevelopmental Disorders Affecting Excitation/Inhibition Balance: Focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Beatriz Sousa et al.

Summary: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been proposed as a promising therapy for neurodevelopmental disorders by modulating excitatory and/or inhibitory activity to restore the balance disrupted in these disorders. Clinical studies show positive effects of tDCS treatment on behavior and cognition, but further research and optimization of treatment protocols are needed.

Summary: This study demonstrates that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) modulates dopamine-GABA functions in the basal ganglia-cortical circuit.

Dysregulation of brain dopamine systems in major depressive disorder

Nella C. Delva et al.

Summary: Major depressive disorder is a debilitating neuropsychiatric syndrome with genetic, epigenetic, and environmental contributions, affecting more than one in six individuals in the United States. Dysregulation of brain dopamine systems is a key aspect of the pathophysiology of MDD, leading to a vast treatment gap worldwide. Neurodevelopmental factors may modify risk for later emergence of MDD through dopaminergic substrates in the brain.

Effects of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Treatment for Anorexia Nervosa

Silvie Baumann et al.

Summary: The study did not observe a significant effect of tDCS over the left DLPFC on complex psychopathology and weight recovery in patients with AN. tDCS reduced the need to follow specific dietary rules and improved body image evaluation in patients with AN. Further tests with a larger sample and different positions of electrodes are needed.

Structural and functional brain alterations in anorexia nervosa:A multimodal meta-analysis of neuroimaging studies

Ting Su et al.

Summary: This study conducted a meta-analysis on brain structure and functional activity of patients with anorexia nervosa, revealing decreased gray matter volume in specific brain regions and altered resting-state functional activity patterns. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the pathophysiology of anorexia nervosa.

Is tDCS a potential first line treatment for major depression?

Rachel Woodham et al.

Summary: Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is an innovative treatment option for major depression, showing significant clinical effects by modulating cortical excitability. It has the most prominent effects in first episode and recurrent major depression, with minimal effects in treatment-resistant depression, possibly mediated by neuroplasticity mechanisms and changes in neural connectivity.
