Abstract
⺠tDCS is a novel brain stimulation tool increasingly used in neuropsychiatry. ⺠tDCS is based on polarity-effects of DCs in changing cortical excitability. ⺠Advantages of tDCS are: portability, easiness of use and low rate of side effects. ⺠tDCS clinical trials in depression have shown promising results. ⺠We update the main findings and challenges of tDCS as a treatment for depression.
