Modulating positive self-referential processing by 40 Hz tACS in individuals with subthreshold depression: A double-blind, sham-controlled study
40 Hz gamma tACS over the mPFC enhanced positive self-referential processing among individuals with subthreshold depression, an effect particularly evident among those with higher depressive symptoms. This effect highlights the potential therapeutic benefits of gamma-frequency stimulation in promoting positive self-evaluation among individuals with depression.
