abstract = {Working memory (WM) performance depends on the ability to
extract relevant while inhibiting irrelevant information
from entering the WM storage. This distractor inhibition
ability can be trained and is known to induce transfer
effects on WM performance. Here we asked whether transfer on
WM can be boosted by transcranial direct current stimulation
(tDCS) during a single-session distractor inhibition
training. As WM performance is ascribed to the
frontoparietal network, in which prefrontal areas are
associated with inhibiting distractors and posterior
parietal areas with storing information, we placed the anode
over the prefrontal and the cathode over the posterior
parietal cortex during a single-session distractor
inhibition training. This network-oriented stimulation
protocol should enhance inhibition processes by shifting the
neural activity from posterior to prefrontal regions. WM
improved after a single-session distractor inhibition
training under verum stimulation but only in subjects with a
high WM capacity. In subjects with a low WM capacity, verum
tDCS reduced the transfer effects on WM. We assume tDCS to
strengthen the frontostriatal pathway in individuals with a
high WM capacity leading to efficient inhibition of
distractors. In contrast, the cathodal stimulation of the
posterior parietal cortex might have hindered usual
compensational mechanism in low capacity subjects, i.e.
maintaining also irrelevant information in memory. Our
results thus stress the need to adjust tDCS protocols to
well-founded knowledge about neural networks and individual
cognitive differences.},
