Non-invasive brain stimulation reorganises effective connectivity during a working memory task in individuals with Neurofibromatosis Type 1
These findings suggest that tDCS reorganised connectivity from frontal to fronto-striatal connectivity. As tDCS-related changes were not specific to the effect of working memory, they may have impacted general cognitive control processes. In addition, by reducing MRS-GABA, tDCS might make dlPFC more sensitive and responsive to external stimulation, such as performance of cognitive tasks.
