Summary

The purpose of the study is to investigate the effect of High Density- tDCS (HD- tDCS) on cognitive function in Alzheimer's Disease. One anode and four return electrodes are placed over DLPFC, where low intensity current (2mA) is induced to the surface of the scalp. Electrode placement is individualized for each participant. Participants will undergo 15 stimulations, with a duration of 20 minutes each. All patients will undergo neuropsychological assessment and MRI evaluation.

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

Anodal tDCS

Anodal Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non- invasive brain stimulation technique. Low intensity current (1-2 mA) is induced to increase excitability, stimulate plasticity and enhance cognitive functions.

OTHER

Sham tDCS

The electrodes are placed over the same areas as in the anodal tDCS condition. Participants will receive sham tDCS instead of anodal tDCS
