Review of research progress on the application of transcranial direct current stimulation on healthy individual cognitive function enhancement
Cognitive function enhancement refers to the process of enhancing one or more core component of human brain cognition.Transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS),as a non-invasive neuromodulation technique,can regulate brain cortical excitability,synaptic plasticity and brain networks functional connection.tDCS can be used to modulate cognitive function components,such as perception,working memory,attention,motor learning and decision-making.This article reviews the neural and physiological mechanism of tDCS over cerebral cortex modulating neural activity and the research progress in human cognitive performance ofsingle tDCS on perception,working memory,attention,motor learning,decision-making and language of healthy individuals in order to provide reference for researchers.
