B01: Neurobehavioral effects of repetitive prefrontal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on pathological aggression
TDCS will be used as an interventional tool to decrease aggression.
Cognitive system
Untersuchung der Rolle des kognitiven Systems bei Aggression bei psychischen Erkrankungen. Das kognitive System unterstützt die schnelle und flexible Anpassung an soziale Anforderungen einschließlich Prozessen wie Inhibition und Regulation, Ziel- und Reaktionsselektion sowie Repräsentation. Im Kontext von Aggression ist kognitive Kontrolle möglicherweise der wichtigste Teil, der Selbstregulation als Reaktion auf Frustration oder Bedrohung ermöglicht.
