Article Synopsis
- Gamma transcranial alternating current stimulation (gamma tACS) is a non-invasive technique aimed at enhancing cognitive performance and treating psychiatric disorders, but its effectiveness for improving working memory remains uncertain.
- In a study with 22 patients with major depression and 21 healthy volunteers, participants received either active or sham gamma tACS during a working memory task, but results showed no significant improvement in reaction time or accuracy for either group.
- The findings suggest that a single session of gamma tACS does not influence cognitive performance in depression, highlighting the need for more standardized methodologies in future research due to mixed results in existing studies.
