Summary
This pilot study tested whether combining exercise with a gentle brain stimulation technique (transcranial direct current stimulation) could improve memory in 60 older adults with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease. Participants exercised while receiving stimulation to key brain areas. The goal was to see if this combo approach helps recognition and recall memory better than exercise alone.
