The Effect Of Transcranial Direct Stimulation Applied To The Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex And Posterior Parietal Cortex İn Cognitive Function, Mood And Proprioception İn Healthy Adults
The Effect Of Transcranial Direct Stimulation Applied To The Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex And Posterior Parietal Cortex İn Cognitive Function, Mood And Proprioception İn Healthy Adults
Background: Transcranial direct current stimulation(tDCS) has been used to improve cognitive functions in healthy young adults.
Purpose: To investigate the effect of TDCS application on different cortex regions on cognitive function.
Methods: Sixty individuals aged 18-30 were included in the study. The participants were randomly divided into the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (Left DLPFC Group)(n=20), the right posterior parietal cortex (Right PPC Group)(n=20), and the sham group (Sham Group)(n=20). tDCS was applied for 20 minutes on weekdays for 2 weeks. The participants were evaluated in terms of cognitive functions with Neuropsychometric Test Battery before and after treatment.
