No evidence that brain-stimulation technique boosts cognitive training

Transcranial direct-current stimulation (tDCS)–a non-invasive technique for applying electric current to areas of the brain–may be growing in popularity, but new research suggests that it probably does not add any meaningful benefit to cognitive training. The study is published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.

“Our findings suggest that applying tDCS while older participants engaged in daily working memory training over four weeks did not result in improved cognitive ability,” explains researcher Martin Lövdén of Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University.

I don’t know if it got fast track designation from FDA…
But I sure hope it will be a “troublesome” medication. For negative symptoms, that is :slight_smile:

What does troublesome mean?

It means, something that will cause trouble for negative symptoms.
In other words, we hope min-101 will be a strong medicine against negative symptoms :slight_smile:

It’s hard to say right now, @patient. So far the results have been promising. The drug will enter phase 3 later this year. We must wait and see what happens next…

Is there an other med for negatives that is in phase 3 also?
