Introduction: Physical inactivity and depression are significant public health concerns, often co-occurring and exacerbating one another. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has shown promise in enhancing cognitive and affective processes, potentially improving exercise adherence and outcomes in individuals with depressive symptoms. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary within group effects of combining tDCS with an aerobic exercise (AE) intervention to increase physical activity in individuals with elevated depressive symptoms.

Background: Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a multifaceted neurodevelopmental disorder marked by impaired interactions and restricted interests, the pathophysiology of which is not fully understood. The current study explored the potential therapeutic effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on the neurophysiological aspects of ASD, specifically focusing on the brain's excitatory/inhibitory (E/I) balance and behavioral outcomes, providing scientific guidance for ASD intervention.

Methods: Forty-two children with ASD were randomly divided into either an active tDCS or sham tDCS group.
