Summary

Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) has been used to improve cognitive functions in healthy young adults.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of TDCS application on different cortex regions on cognitive function.

Methods: Sixty individuals aged 18-30 were included in the study. The participants were randomly divided into the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Left DLPFC Group)(n=20), the right posterior parietal cortex (Right PPC Group)(n=20), and the sham group (Sham Group)(n=20). tDCS was applied for 20 minutes on weekdays for 2 weeks. The participants were evaluated in terms of cognitive functions with Neuropsychometric Test Battery before and after treatment.
