Mathematical Modeling of Neurostimulation for Post-traumatic Stress Disorder: A Migration Towards Multiscale Modeling to Assess Neural Response to Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Treatments.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a neurological condition which results from a traumatic experience caused by physiological shock or physical harm. Clinical results show success in combating the symptoms of PTSD with a neurostimulation treatment called transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS). Though effective, the underlying mechanisms of the treatment and its success are not fully comprehended.
