Objectives Previous studies have shown that anodal transcranial direct current stimulation
(tDCS) of the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) led to an improvement of various
cognitive functions in patients with Alzheimer dementia, early affected by short-term memory
deficits. Since this approach has not been evaluated in the context of vascular dementia,
which rather affects the velocity of cognitive responses, we aimed at improving these
functions by applying repetitive sessions of anodal tDCS. Methods Four 20-minute sessions …
