A study conducted by Ningbo University in China explores the wonders of transcranial direct current stimulation (TCDC). This noninvasive technique, which uses low-intensity currents on the brain surface, caused surprising changes in the excitability of neurons. A group of 124 Alzheimer’s patients aged 65 and older underwent tDCS twice daily and showed significant cognitive improvements, especially in memory, after six weeks.
Improvements in word recall and recognition, as well as response plasticity, have been notable achievements that make tDCS a promising adjunct in the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. There are still questions about the mechanism behind this brain-boosting magic.
