Summary
This study tests a non-invasive brain stimulation technique to boost memory and thinking in 150 older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), a condition that often leads to Alzheimer's. The goal is to strengthen the brain's natural ability to compensate for early damage and slow down or prevent progression to dementia. Participants receive targeted stimulation to the frontal lobes, and researchers measure changes in brain plasticity and memory performance.
