There is increasing evidence that human brain is organised into large-scale networks. Among these, the Default Mode Network (DMN) and the Salience Network (SN) show abnormal connectivity patterns in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), i.e. reduced connectivity in the DMN and increased connectivity in the SN. In this study, we tested the cognitive/clinical effect of neuromodulation of the above networks in AD through transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).

Abstract

There is increasing evidence that human brain is organised into large-scale networks. Among these, the Default Mode Network (DMN) and the Salience Network (SN) show abnormal connectivity patterns in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), i.e. reduced connectivity in the DMN and increased connectivity in the SN. In this study, we tested the cognitive/clinical effect of neuromodulation of the above networks in AD through transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
