First seen Apr 23, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tests whether a gentle, non-invasive ultrasound technique called LIFUP can increase brain activity in a memory-related area and improve memory in people with mild cognitive impairment or mild Alzheimer's. About 144 participants will receive focused ultrasound to the entorhinal cortex and undergo brain scans and memory tests. The goal is to see if this approach can safely enhance memory network function.
