Top down prefrontal affective modulation of tinnitus with multiple sessions of tDCS of dorsolateral prefrontal cortex.

TL;DR: This study further supports the involvement of the prefrontal cortex in the neural network associated with tinnitus, and provides initial evidence for a potential brain stimulation site for tinnitis treatment in association with other treatments that can reduce tinn Titus intensity.

Transcranial direct current stimulation, implicit alcohol associations and craving

TL;DR: It is concluded that DLPFC stimulation can reduce craving in heavy drinkers, but found no evidence for tDCS induced changes in alcohol biases, although low power necessitates caution.
