Targeted high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation over the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to modify cognitive biases in young adults with social anxiety: a randomized controlled trial.
Molecular psychiatry·July 1, 2026·PMID 41764338
Why it mattersThis study provides early evidence that a non-invasive brain stimulation protocol can selectively modulate cognitive biases implicated in social anxiety, offering a potential mechanistic target for future interventions. It highlights a dissociation between objective behavioral changes and subjective symptom reports, which is clinically relevant for treatment development.
