Borderline personality disorder (BPD) patients show negative emotional reactions to both excluding and including social scenarios, with levels normalizing only during extreme inclusion. Prior research among healthy individuals highlights the right ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (rVLPFC) role in regulating responses exclusion, since transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) of rVLPFC decreases rejection-related emotions following exclusion. This pilot study investigated whether, BPD...

Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is increasingly used in both research and therapeutic settings, but its precise mechanisms remain largely unknown. At a neuronal level, tDCS modulates cortical excitability by shifting the resting membrane potential polarity-dependent way: anodal increases spontaneous firing rate, while cathodal decreases it. However, neurophysiological underpinnings of anodal/cathodal seem to be different, as well their behavioral effect, particular when high...

<h2>Abstract</h2><h3>Background</h3> The prefrontal cortex is crucial for top-down regulation of aggression, but the neural underpinnings aggression are still poorly understood. Past research showed transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) over ventrolateral (VLPFC) modulates following exposure to risk factors (e.g., social exclusion, violent media). Although frustration a key factor no study date has examined modulatory role tDCS on frustration-induced aggression. <h3>Objectives</h3>...

ABSTRACT Objective Binging and purging are transdiagnostic features of eating disorders (EDs). Attentional biases (ABs) toward food body shape cues negative affect (NA) associated with ED psychopathology. These ABs might also be present in people subthreshold not meeting full diagnostic criteria. We investigated to the interaction between NA young binge/purge behavior (B/P group) healthy controls (HC group). Our B/P sample consisted individuals threshold ED, including participants BN, AN‐R,...

Technologies for frail elderly individuals facilitate the integration of care services, support post-discharge period, and enhance independence quality life while reducing isolation. However, lack methodological rigor in studies on technologies diagnosing treating geriatric syndromes limits applied research. This study aimed to develop validate a checklist considering technical readiness, clinical needs, context use primary practice also research settings. To this aim, Delphi procedure was...

Neuromodulation of regions involved in food processing is increasingly used studies on eating behaviors, but results are controversial. We assessed the effects anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (a-tDCS) and body implicit preferences patients with disorders (EDs).Thirty-six ED 36 healthy females completed three sessions a-tDCS applied to medial-prefrontal cortex (mPFC), right extrastriate area (rEBA) or sham mode. Each participant then Implicit Association Tests (IATs)...

Abstract Background. Patients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) show negative emotional reactions following both social exclusion and normally including scenarios; only experimental conditions of extreme inclusion decrease BPD patients' rejection-related emotions to levels comparable healthy individuals. At the brain level, are mediated by right Ventrolateral Prefrontal Cortex (rVLPFC). Among subjects, neuromodulation this region means transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)...

Objective The growing attention towards the psychosocial characteristics of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a possible prodromal stage dementia, contributed to spread patient-centered approaches care age-related decline. Within these new models, including Case-Management approaches, technology-based treatments showed improve quality life and functioning people with MCI. However, studies testing technologies treat functional well-being MCI patients are still few. Moreover, whether Case...
