There are some other findings in terms of dose-response relationships in SUDs. For example, a pre-post tDCS-fMRI study with F4-F3 electrode montage (bilateral frontal with anode on the right) conducted on MUD participants revealed a significant correlation between changes in brain functions in response to drug cues and the averaged EF strength within the frontopolar area, as opposed to other prefrontal regions [Moreover, our previous investigations have examined the impact of substance use disorders (SUDs) on electric field distribution patterns in relation to anatomical alterations [
