AbstractTranscranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is routinely used in basic and clinical research, but its efficacy has been challenged on a methodological and statistical basis recently. The arguments against tDCS derive from insufficient understanding of how this technique interacts with brain processes physiologically. Because of its potential as a central tool in neuroscience, it is important to clarify whether and how tDCS affects neuronal activity. Here, we investigate influences of offline tDCS on network architecture measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging. Our results reveal a tDCS-induced reorganisation of a functionally-defined network that is dependent on whether we are exciting or inhibiting a node within this network, confirming in a functioning brain, and in a bias free and independent fashion that tDCS influences neuronal activity. Moreover, our results suggest that network-specific connectivity has an important role in defining the effects of tDCS and the relationship between brain states and behaviour.

Transkranielle Gleichstromstimulation

Zusammenfassung Gegenstand und Ziel: Die transkranielle Gleichstromstimulation (transcranial direct current stimulation, tDCS) wird als neues nicht invasives Hirnstimulationsverfahren für die Behandlung neurologischer und psychiatrischer Erkrankungen untersucht. Mittlerweile gibt es Fallberichte und eine randomisierte, kontrollierte Pilotstudie zur Behandlung akustischer Halluzinationen sowie der Negativsymptomatik bei Schizophrenie. Fallbericht: Im vorliegenden Fallbericht wurde ein Patient mit therapieresistenter Symptomatik bei paranoider Schizophrenie drei Wochen lang mit anodaler tDCS über dem linken dorsolateralen und kathodaler tDCS über dem rechten dorsolateralen Kortex behandelt. Ergebnisse: Es zeigte sich eine Verbesserung von Affektivität und Kognition, die Positivsymptome blieben jedoch nahezu unverändert. Klinische Relevanz: Die bifrontale tDCS stellt eine nebenwirkungsarme neue Behandlungsform dar und sollte in der Anwendung bei Erkrankungen aus dem schizophrenen Formenkreis weiter untersucht werden.
