Abstract
This study investigated the effect of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on sustained attention performance following a mindfulness intervention in seventeen patients with Graves’ Disease. Significant improvements in the performance of the masked continuous performance test were observed among patients who received 2 weeks of active tDCS (10 sessions). These findings reaffirm that tDCS may enhance cognitive function.
期刊介绍:
The Neuroimaging section of Psychiatry Research publishes manuscripts on positron emission tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, computerized electroencephalographic topography, regional cerebral blood flow, computed tomography, magnetoencephalography, autoradiography, post-mortem regional analyses, and other imaging techniques. Reports concerning results in psychiatric disorders, dementias, and the effects of behaviorial tasks and pharmacological treatments are featured. We also invite manuscripts on the methods of obtaining images and computer processing of the images themselves. Selected case reports are also published.
