“…Yet, the effect of tDCS on functional connectivity varies considerably across studies, with studies reporting increased connectivity (Amadi et al, 2014;Krishnamurthy et al, 2015;Sotnikova et al, 2017), decreased connectivity (Antonenko et al, 2017;Dedoncker et al, 2019;Ficek et al, 2018), mixed effects (Mondino et al, 2016;Shahbabaie et al, 2018), and even no effect (Dissanayaka et al, 2017). These differences may be explained by factors such as the polarity and placement of electrodes (Li et al, 2019), the brain state during stimulation or training (Li et al, 2019;Sotnikova et al, 2017), and the dose/duration of stimulation (Shinde et al, 2021).…”
