Transcranial direct current stimulation over the temporal-parietal junction yields no lexical-semantic effects in logopenic primary progressive aphasia: a double-blind sham-control... by Marc Teichmann, Clara Sanches, Angelina Bourbon, Dennis Q. Truong, Marom Bikson, Antoni Valero-Cabré

“…Finite element models showed impact for both tDCS modalities on the TPJ, but with lower radial field-strength when atrophy was implemented in the model. Correlation analyses on individual data, uncorrected for multiples comparisons, suggested that lesser aphasia severity and shorter disease duration are associated with more efficient tDCS effects.Our results showing the absence of significant tDCS outcomes in lv-PPA mitigate previous reports of positive tDCS effects with similar or smaller patient sample sizes, and they demonstrate the need for exploring factors influencing stimulation effects. …”
