Abstract

Emotional processing deficits are key features in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD). Neuroimaging studies reported that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) play a pivotal role in both depressive symptoms and emotional processing. Recently, transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) applied over the DLPFC hold promises to alleviate symptoms in patients with MDD. Here, we investigated the effect of DLPFC-tDCS on emotional processing measured by a facial emotion recognition task (FER) in patients with MDD.
