Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called HD-tDCS can improve visual and thinking abilities in people with posterior cortical atrophy (PCA), a rare dementia that affects vision. Fifty participants will receive either real or sham stimulation over 4 days, with an optional long-term phase. The goal is to see if this treatment can ease symptoms and improve brain network function.
