Zapping the brain to sharpen memory: new study holds promise for Alzheimer's prevention
NCT ID NCT03574207
First seen Mar 29, 2026 · Last updated May 17, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study explores whether a non-invasive technique called repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) can improve memory in healthy young and older adults, as well as in people with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), a condition that often leads to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers will use brain scans to see if the stimulation changes how memory-related brain networks connect. The goal is to find a safe way to ease memory symptoms, not to cure the underlying disease.
