Summary

This study tests whether a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve memory in healthy young adults, healthy older adults, and older adults with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), a condition that often leads to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will use memory tests and brain scans to see if rTMS strengthens memory-related brain networks. The goal is to find a safe, drug-free way to ease memory symptoms.
