Summary
This study tests whether a safe, painless brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve verbal learning in people with Alzheimer's disease. About 94 participants with either typical memory-loss Alzheimer's or a language-focused form will receive active or sham stimulation while practicing word lists. The goal is to see if tDCS boosts recall and changes brain connections, offering a potential new way to ease symptoms.
