Repetitive prefrontal tDCS activates VTA dopaminergic neurons, resulting in attenuation of Alzheimer’s Disease-like deficits in Tg2576 mice

Abstract Background Emerging evidence implicates early dysfunction of dopaminergic neurons in the Ventral Tegmental Area (VTA) as a key contributor to Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) pathophysiology. Specifically, the VTA dopaminergic neurodegeneration and the consequent reduction of dopamine (DA) in mesoc...
