Summary
This study tested whether a gentle electric current applied to a memory-related brain area can improve word-finding in civilians who had a traumatic brain injury at least a year ago. Five adults with ongoing word retrieval problems received both real and fake stimulation in a controlled setting. The goal was to see if the stimulation improved performance on naming and fluency tests, and to explore which factors might predict a better response.
