Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) for Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): Why and How? by Lionel Cailhol, Kamilia Soltani, Cécilia Neige, Marine Mondino, Jérôme Brunelin, Martin Blay

“…Neurobiologically, tDCS modulates the excitability of the dorsolateral and ventrolateral prefrontal cortex and enhances fronto-limbic connectivity, thereby strengthening top-down regulatory control over emotion and behavior. Pilot randomized controlled trials report moderate effect sizes for improvements in emotional regulation, inhibitory control, and rejection sensitivity, along with ancillary gains in executive functioning and reductions in depressive and substance-use symptoms when stimulating the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. …”
