ABSTRACT
Logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) is characterized by word-finding deficits and phonologic errors in fluent speech. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting either left temporoparietal junction (TPJ) or left inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) show evidence of improving language function in lvPPA. The present case study evaluated the effects of two separate rounds of high definition tDCS (HD-tDCS) (4 mA; 30 sessions) on language and functional neuroimaging in a 57-year-old woman with lvPPA. Stimulation was centred on two different regions across rounds (1) left TPJ, and (2) left (IFG). Results showed an improved proportion of content to floorholder words during a naturalistic speech task through both rounds as well as change in confrontation naming after TPJ (improvement) and IFG (worsened) stimulation. fMRI connectivity during task showed left lateralized positive correlations following round 1 and anti-correlations with components of the default mode network following round 2. Resting state segregation of a language-associated functional network increased following both rounds, and task-based segregation of the same network increased following IFG stimulation. These results suggest that stimulation to both regions using HD-tDCS may improve language function in lvPPA, while simultaneously eliciting widespread changes beyond the targeted area in neuronal activity and functional connectivity.
