Improved proper name recall in aging after electrical stimulation of the anterior temporal lobes

Evidence from neuroimaging and neuropsychology suggests that portions of the anterior temporal lobes play a critical role in proper name retrieval. We previously found that anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to the anterior temporal lobes improved retrieval of proper names in youn...
