Official Title: Remote Home-based Electrical Stimulation (tDCS) in Primary Progressive Aphasia (With Frontotemporal Dementia or Alzheimer's Pathology) and Mild Cognitive Impairment/Alzheimer's.
Brief Summary:
The primary objective of this research is to evaluate the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation and computerized cognitive training on executive functioning in individuals with Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or dementia.In this study, investigators will use transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to stimulate the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC).Previous studies have demonstrated that tDCS over the DLPFC led to improvements in attention deficit caused by…
