This pilot study aims to test clinical and connectivity changes following non-invasive stimulation of disease-specific networks in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD). Brain network stimulation will be carried out with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Target networks will be the default mode network (DMN) and salience network (SN). Twenty AD and 20 bvFTD patients will be recruited and assessed with a comprehensive clinical, behavioral and cognitive battery, and 3 Tesla MRI scan (including resting-state functional MRI, arterial spin labeling, diffusion tensor imaging, structural MRI) at three time-points: baseline, after tDCS, and after 6 months. Patients will be randomized to 2 arms: anodal stimulation of the disease-specific network (DMN in AD, SN in bvFTD) or cathodal stimulation of the anti-correlated network (SN in AD, DMN in bvFTD). The intervention will consist of 10 tDCS sessions over two weeks. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples will be collected at baseline for biomarker's assessment; blood samples will be collected at each time-point to assess changes in peripheral inflammatory markers. Blood and CSF collection will be optional. A sample of 20 elderly controls will be included for baseline comparisons.

| Change in Clinical Disease Severity (CDR) | CDR - Clinical Dementia Rating score The clinical dementia rating (CDR) is a clinical global rating scale administered to both the participant and the caregiver, assessing 6 domains of participant function: memory, orientation, judgement and problem solving, community affairs, home and hobbies and personal care. Each domain is based on a 5-point scale ranging from no impairment=0, questionable impairment=0.5, mild impairment=1, moderate impairment=2 to severe impairment=3. The global CDR score is computed via a memory-weighted averaging algorithm of the six domain scores and ranges from 0 to 5. The CDR-sum of boxes (CDR-SB) is the sum of the individual domain scores and ranges from 0 to 18. Higher scores indicate more clinical impairment. Negative changes at post tDCS compared to baseline represent an improvement on the scale. | Baseline, post tDCS (week 3) |
| Change in Behavioral Symptom Severity (NPI) | The Neuropsychiatric Inventory (NPI) is a behavioral scale administered to the caregiver assessing 12 dimensions: delusions, hallucinations, agitation/aggression, depression/dysphoria, anxiety, euphoria, apathy, disinhibition, irritability, aberrant motor activity, nighttime behaviors, and appetite/eating. Each dimension has multiple screening questions relating to symptoms. If the answer to the screening questions is "Yes", the dimensional-score is the product of frequency (1=occasionally to 4=very frequently) and severity (1=Mild to 3=Severe) of symptoms. Dimensional-scores are summed (from 0 to 144). Higher scores indicate greater behavioral disturbances. Negative changes at post tDCS compared to baseline represent an improvement on the scale. | Baseline, post tDCS (week 3) |
| Change in Behavioral Symptom Severity (FBI) | The Frontal Behavioral Inventory (FBI) is a 24-item inventory designed to assess behavior and personality changes via caregiver. Item-level scores range from 0=none, 1=mild/occasional, 2=moderate, 3=severe/most of the time. Item-scores are summed (from 0 to 72). Higher scores indicate greater behavioral/personality disturbances. Negative changes at post tDCS compared to baseline represent an improvement on the scale. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Change in Cognition: Memory | The composite memory score consists of the averaged Z-standardized scores of 5 memory tests: immediate and delayed auditory verbal learning test recall, Rey-Osterrieth complex figure recall, story recall, digit span backward and forward tests. Each test score is normalized to an independent dataset of healthy controls. Z-scores have no minimum/maximum values. A z-score of 0 is equal to the mean and is considered normal. Lower numbers indicate values lower than the mean and higher numbers indicate values higher than the mean. Higher values denote better memory performance. Positive changes at post tDCS compared to baseline represent an improvement in memory. |

Adverse events were monitored from the time of enrollment to follow-up assessment (approx 6 months).
A questionnaire was administered to all participants to monitor events occurring within 24 hours after each tDCS session. A questionnaire was also administered at the end of the first and last tDCS sessions to monitor the occurrence of the most common discomfort sensations related to tDCS and their intensity.
