Abstract：Transcranial direct current stimulation is one of the non-invasive brain-stimulation techniques. Based on the introduction of the origin and development, this article gave an overview of the mechanisms emphatically, the current view is that the transcranial direct cur-rent stimulation may exert effect on neuromodulation by changing cortical excitability, increasing synaptic plasticity, impacting cortical exci-tation/inhibition balance, altering regional cerebral blood flow, modulating the activity within and between different cortical networks. In this review, clinical studies and analysis findings were compared, and then 2 problems should be discussed for ideal effects:choice of stimu-lating parameters and timing of the stimulation in relation to task performance.
