tDCS modulates the activity of the neuronal networks to induce the desired behavioural changes. Two factors determine its effectiveness- (1) whether the network being stimulated is relevant to the task, and (2) if there is a scope for improvement in behavioral performance. To explore this, both dorsal (sub-lexical) and ventral (lexical) reading networks were stimulated (20 min, 2 mA) in 25 healthy young volunteers. Participants performed two reading tasks with different levels of lexical involvement: word fragment completion tasks (WCT) and word association tasks (WAT), while event-related potentials (ERPs) were recorded simultaneously. The study used a within-subject design over three sessions, comparing various electrode montages targeting the dorsal pathway's left inferior parietal lobule or the ventral reading pathway's left middle temporal lobule, as well as sham stimulation. The impact of tDCS sessions (dorsal, ventral, & sham) and task type (WCT & WAT) on priming effects (primed vs. unprimed) of behavioral performance (accuracy and reaction times), and ERP parameters (N400 amplitudes and latencies) were statistically analyzed.It was found that tDCS modulated the performance of WAT only (a task with a lower priming effect). The failure to modulate WCT (larger priming effect) indicated that tDCS was effective for conditions with room for improvement compared to a task where performance has reached the ceiling. Ventral stimulation enhanced accuracy in the WAT condition and shortened the N400 latency of the priming effect. In contrast, dorsal stimulation delayed the priming effect reaction time in the WAT condition and enhanced the N400 amplitude. To conclude, enhancement in performance due to tDCS occurs when the network (ventral) being stimulated aligns with the cognitive demands of the task and there is a scope for improvement.

Mike Leonard had crops to harvest and a newborn grandson to cuddle, but his retirement dream of running a 220-acre farm near the town of Bellflower in eastern Missouri wasn’t going as planned. Instead of enjoying his new responsibilities and new family addition, Mike and his wife Sherry of 42 years faced a sobering situation. Leonard had recently retired from a factory job in Warrenton, and he traded his daily commute for farm equipment, fields and livestock.

The World Health Organization has added burnout to its list of globally recognized diseases, yet protocols for addressing burnout in the workplace are starkly underdeveloped.
It’s called transcranial magnetic stimulation therapy, or TMS. While it may sound complicated the concept is relatively simple. Have a machine send magnetic pulses to areas of the brain that psychiatrist say have low neural activity when someone is dealing with depression.

COVID-19 has cut access to specific medical treatments for those who struggle from severe depression, such as electroconvulsive therapy, but scientists are looking into a new accelerated treatment that might be easier and safer to deliver.
