Abstract:Background: Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) could improve cognition in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the effects of tACS on brain activity remain unclear. Objective: The purpose is to investigate the change in regional neuronal activity after tACS in AD patients employing resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI). Methods: A total of 46 patients with mild AD were enrolled. Each patient received 30 one-hour sessions of real or sham tACS for three weeks … Show more
