The effects of transcranial direct current stimulation over the ventromedial prefrontal cortex on reactive aggression in intoxicated and sober individuals.

Alcohol-related aggression is a widely observed phenomenon that has detrimental effects on both individuals and society, putatively caused by dysfunction in the prefrontal cortex. The ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) plays a critical role in representing the reward value of future actions. Emerging research has suggested that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over the vmPFC can reduce aggression.

Coarsening of choriocapillaris on optical coherence tomography angiography as a sign of acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement.

Purpose: Acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement is a rare syndrome that is classified within a spectrum of primary inflammatory choriocapillaropathies with circumscribed outer retinal dysfunction.

Observations: We observed coarsening of the choriocapillaris on en-face optical coherence tomography angiography when compared to the fellow eye in a patient with suspected acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement.

Conclusions And Importance: Increased granularity of the choriocapillaris as imaged by optical coherence tomography angiography may assist in the diagnosis of acute idiopathic blind spot enlargement, particularly during a global pandemic when access to electrodiagnostics is limited.
