Although as well as a nonsignificant interaction between tDCS and AD risk factors, there was a statistical trend toward an interaction between tDCS and the APOE ε4-allele, possibly attributable to increased aMPFC DC after tDCS application in MCI patients with Aβ deposits, yielding a large effect size ( p = 0.056, partial η 2 = 0.138, Figure 1 A).

In terms of functional segregation parameters after anodal-tDCS application, our MCI patients with APOE ε4-allele displayed increased local intrinsic brain activity in DMN hub regions and AD compensatory regions, in which previous studies have shown a decreasing trend of fALFF across the AD spectrum [ 45 ].
