“…As memory deficits still do not respond well to pharmacological treatment [ 16 ], while there is evidence for their susceptibility to plasticity-based interventions (e.g., cognitive training [ 17 ]), recent years have seen an expansion of memory-oriented transcranial brain stimulation research. Transcranial brain stimulation (TBS) or noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS) refers to a set of techniques that use different physical forces such as magnetic and electric fields, and more recently ultrasound, to harness the brain plasticity capabilities by modulating neuronal excitability and the activity of functional brain networks [ 18 ]. Here, we focus on transcranial electric stimulation (tES)—a set of NIBS techniques that use weak electrical currents (usually between 1 and 2 mA) to modulate brain activity aiming at altering behavioral responses [ 19 ].…”

Associative memory (AM) is the ability to bind new information into complex memory representations. Noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS), especially transcranial electric stimulation (tES), has gained increased interest in research of associative memory (AM) and its impairments. To provide an overview of the current state of knowledge, we conducted a systematic review following PRISMA guidelines covering basic and clinical research. Out of 374 identified records, 41 studies were analyzed—twenty-nine in healthy young adults, six in the aging population, three comparing older and younger adults, as well as two studies on people with MCI, and one in people with Alzheimer’s dementia. Studies using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) as well as oscillatory (otDCS) and high-definition protocols (HD-tDCS, HD-tACS) have been included. The results showed methodological heterogeneity in terms of study design, stimulation type, and parameters, as well as outcome measures. Overall, the results show that tES is a promising method for AM enhancement, especially if the stimulation is applied over the parietal cortex and the effects are assessed in cued recall paradigms.

“…These rhythmic changes in the current waveform are assumed to induce the entrainment of neural oscillations to the stimulation frequency leading to an increase in the activation of the targeted structures [ 25 ]. For a more detailed overview of the mechanisms of different tES techniques see [ 18 , 19 , 26 ].…”
