Description
Schizophrenia's deepest disability is often cognitive, and standard drugs barely touch it. Chien-Chen Hung and two co-authors review in 2024 what is known about these deficits and whether brain stimulation can lift them. Medication and talking therapy both leave much of the impairment standing, they note.
Stimulation techniques show real promise in specific thinking domains, though protocols vary and long term results are thin. The reviewers argue the field must first understand the circuits whose tuning produces the gains. That circuit knowledge would turn scattered trials into a strategy. They close with a research agenda: standardize the stimulation, follow patients longer, and target the domains that decide daily function.
