First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether a gentle, non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS can improve motivation, memory, and brain connections in healthy older adults and people with very early Alzheimer's disease. About 80 participants aged 40-99 will receive daily stimulation for 10 days, take a break, then another 10 days. The goal is to learn how the brain responds, not to cure or treat the disease.
