NCT ID NCT04756232

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study looked at how attention networks function in older adults who have mild memory concerns (subjective cognitive decline). Researchers used a drug that temporarily blocks a brain chemical (acetylcholine) and measured brain activity with EEG. The goal was to understand if these individuals rely more on attention networks to maintain normal thinking, not to treat or cure any condition.
