Proceedings #32: Effects of cerebellar delta and theta frequency tACS on cognitive performance in patients with schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is associated with impairments across several cognitive functions, including reaction time, prospective time estimation, working memory, verbal learning and memory, attention, and executive functions. Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) to the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is an effective non-invasive technique that may hold clinical relevance for the treatment of neuropsychiatric symptoms such as psychosis (delusions and hallucinations), depressive mood, anxiety, irritability/lability, apathy, euphoria, disinhibition, and agitation/aggression.
