First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 24 times

Summary

This study looks at whether a gentle brain stimulation technique called tDCS can improve how well the brain's networks work together during walking and thinking tasks. Researchers will test 60 older adults with mild memory concerns, giving them either real or fake stimulation while they walk and do puzzles. The goal is to see if this can make walking steadier and navigation easier.
