Abstract
Transcranial direct current stimulation is a popular brain stimulation method that produces facilitative or inhibitory effects on various behaviors. Over time, it has become a widely used and safe non-invasive method to investigate cortical excitability in humans. This review briefly discusses the operation of the device, how it is used, post-application effects, and its impact on learning, working memory, aphasia, memory acquisition, and neuroplasticity.
