Summary
This study looked at how a gentle electrical current applied to the brain (tDCS) changes the way healthy women process social comments like criticism or praise. 47 volunteers had two MRI scans, one with real stimulation and one with fake stimulation, to compare brain activity and mood. The goal was to understand brain circuits involved in emotion, not to treat any disease.
