The purpose of this study is to determine whether stepwise engagement of the frontal lobe across randomized groups (active tDCS+depression cognitive training \> sham tDCS+depression cognitive training \> sham tDCS+non-specific cognitive training) will result in progressively greater improvements in executive functions and memory, as well as intrinsic functional connectivity of the Executive Control Network (ECN), in older adults with recurrent depression. The investigators will randomize 69 elderly depressed outpatients into one of three conditions daily over 4-weeks. Psychiatric and neuropsychological evaluations, as well as multimodal neuroimaging (focused on the ECN) will be obtained at baseline and following intervention completion to look at acute and long-term effects.
