Abstract

Introduction: Working memory is an executive memory process essential for decision-making and problem solving, making it a fundamental process to everyday life. Frontal lobe brain structures are critical for working memory processes (i.e. reorganizing information), which are known to decline with advanced age. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) shows promise for enhancing working memory in older adults. However, underlying neural mechanisms of tDCS on the working memory system are not well understood. The current study aimed to determine functional connectivity changes in the working memory network using an N-Back working memory task during a tDCS session while inside a 3T Phillips MRI.
