Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique gaining more attention in neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Due to the phenotypic heterogeneity of NDDs, tDCS is unlikely to be equally effective in all individuals. The present study aimed to establish neuroanatomical markers in typical developing (TD) individuals that may be used for the prediction of individual responses to tDCS. 57 TD male and female children received 2mA anodal and sham tDCS, targeting the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFCleft ), right inferior frontal gyrus, and bilateral temporo-parietal junction...
