Dietary tyrosine consumption modulates the effects of tDCS, but not tRNS, on planning behaviour

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) holds great promise for alleviating various diseases and enhancing cognitive function. Despite its potential, contradictory findings remain prevalent in the field due to a combination of methodological (1) and interindividual factors. A decade of diverse research methodologies has consistently shown that variations in dopaminergic (DA) activity, specifically within the realm of executive function (EF), can predict the direction of tDCS effects on EF (2 –5).
