@playroom_parenting: Can a little brain stimulation device genuinely lift my mood and make me more hopeful and engaged in life? I had to find out. | AD Here are the three reasons I decided to try it: As a neuroscientist, I already understood the evidence for the efficacy of this type of brain stimulation and how it works. I’ve struggled with chronic low mood for most of my life, which hasn't been easily managed with lifestyle changes or medication. I saw the randomized control trial evidence showing a 77% reported improvement in depressive symptoms. I had to see the results for myself! The stimulation works by altering the cortical excitability of the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC). I like to imagine the brain as an elaborate train network: if one key station (or brain node) is running slow, it affects every connected station and network. TCDS focuses on making that station more efficient, which allows all the networks it sits in to function better. The best part? The effect is long-lasting; you are actually making the brain work better long-term, not just while stimulating the region. #brainstimulation #mood #depressive #neuroscience @Flow Neuroscience
