Abstract #43: Noninvasive Neuromodulation of the Cerebellum via tDCS Affects Appetite in Subjects with Obesity

Introduction: Obesity is associated with characteristic neurocognitive patterns that contribute to the development and maintenance of maladaptive eating behaviors. To date, studies targeting the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC) using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) have successfully reduced appetite and food intake. Nevertheless, the potential of the cerebellum as a target area, given its association with body mass index (BMI), obesity, and appetite-related responses, remains unexplored.
