Anodal Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Improves Social Behavior Alongside Neuroplastic Changes in a Tsc2+/− Rat Model of Autism Spectrum Disorder

Anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) applied to the medial prefrontal cortex in a Tsc2+/− rat model of autism spectrum disorder enhances social behavior. This improvement is accompanied by neuroplastic changes, suggesting a potential therapeutic mechanism for tDCS in ASD. The findings highlight the role of tDCS in modulating maladaptive plasticity and improving social deficits in ASD.
