Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of non-invasive brain stimulation on memory in cognitively unimpaired older adults and in patients amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) due to Alzheimer's disease (AD). This study will use repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) to stimulate nodes of the Default Mode Network (DMN)- which is thought to support episodic memory and to be affected by Alzheimer's pathology.

We will use functional connectivity MRI (fcMRI) to assess changes in functional network architecture following the stimulation. We will also assess putative cognitive improvements resulting from the stimulation by in-depth memory testing.
