Summary
This study tested whether a non-invasive magnetic brain stimulation technique can reduce apathy—a severe lack of motivation—in older Veterans with mild memory problems. About 100 participants received either real or fake stimulation over 20 sessions. The goal was to see if the treatment could improve motivation, memory, and daily function, and to explore why some people respond better than others.
