Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Computational Psychiatry
  • Brain Stimulation

Background:

  • The insula plays a crucial role in psychiatric symptoms, interoception, and cognition.
  • Non-invasive brain stimulation offers potential for studying brain function and developing new psychiatric treatments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the feasibility of targeting the insula and its subregions using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
  • To identify optimal tDCS montages for precise insula stimulation.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized COMETS2, a MATLAB-based toolbox, for computational modeling.
  • Simulated current density and electric field distributions for various tDCS protocols.
  • Evaluated three current intensities (2, 3, and 4 mA) and identified optimal electrode placements.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated the viability of reaching the insula and its subregions with tDCS.
  • Identified frontal and occipital regions as optimal for targeting the insula.
  • Simulation results provide guidance for effective tDCS protocol design.

Conclusions:

  • tDCS is a viable technique for targeting the insula and its subregions.
  • Computational modeling can effectively guide the development of tDCS protocols for psychiatric research.
  • This study provides a foundation for future investigations into tDCS-based treatments for psychiatric disorders.
