Popis: Behavioral variant of frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) is characterized by early onset of behavioral disturbances, the management of which pose challenges. Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) is an emerging modality of management of behavioral symptoms. In this article we describe a case series where transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) was found to be beneficial in bvFTD.
