In this review, we discuss studies on the impact of tDCS as a therapy for autism, schizophrenia, and attention deficit\/hyperactivity disorder, as well as the tDCS\u2019 mechanism of action, and propose future paths of research to optimize tDCS treatment protocols. The mechanism underlying tDCS effects is the modulation of excitatory and\/or inhibitory activity, making it a valuable tool for restoring the excitation\/inhibition (E\/I) balance which is disrupted in many neurodevelopmental disorders. Clinical studies have shown that tDCS therapy is well-tolerated by patients and seems to ameliorate behavior and cognitive functions. Alterations in early development of neuronal circuits lead to disruptions in brain activity in neurodevelopmental disorders. An increasing amount of research into the effects of tDCS on neuronal activity has provided a foundation for its use as a therapy for behavior and cognitive characteristics of neurodevelopmental disorders. Clinical studies show that tDCS appears to ameliorate behavioral and cognitive outcomes of patients with autism, schizophrenia, and attention deficit\/hyperactivity disorder. More research is needed to understand the mechanisms of action of tDCS and to optimize treatment protocols.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm11102839","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,18]],"date-time":"2022-05-18T03:20:43Z","timestamp":1652844043000},"page":"2839","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation as an Approach to Mitigate Neurodevelopmental Disorders Affecting Excitation\/Inhibition Balance: Focus on Autism Spectrum Disorder, Schizophrenia, and Attention Deficit\/Hyperactivity Disorder"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Beatriz","family":"Sousa","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Coimbra Institute for Biomedical Imaging and Translational Research (CIBIT), University of Coimbra, 3000-548 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Jo\u00e3o","family":"Martins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coimbra Institute for Biomedical Imaging and Translational Research (CIBIT), University of Coimbra, 3000-548 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Institute for Nuclear Sciences Applied to Health (ICNAS), University of Coimbra, 3000-548 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Castelo-Branco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coimbra Institute for Biomedical Imaging and Translational Research (CIBIT), University of Coimbra, 3000-548 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Institute for Nuclear Sciences Applied to Health (ICNAS), University of Coimbra, 3000-548 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra, 3000-548 Coimbra, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5854-8664","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Joana","family":"Gon\u00e7alves","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Coimbra Institute for Biomedical Imaging and Translational Research (CIBIT), University of Coimbra, 3000-548 Coimbra, Portugal"},{"name":"Institute for Nuclear Sciences Applied to Health (ICNAS), University of Coimbra, 3000-548 Coimbra, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,5,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"339","DOI":"10.1016\/S2215-0366(16)30376-5","article-title":"Neurodevelopmental disorders","volume":"4","author":"Thapar","year":"2017","journal-title":"Lancet Psychiatry"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e329","DOI":"10.1038\/tp.2013.108","article-title":"Neurodevelopmental disorders: Mechanisms and boundary definitions from genomes, interactomes and proteomes","volume":"3","author":"Mullin","year":"2013","journal-title":"Transl.
