The student is expected to contribute to a clinical trial examining the efficacy of non-invasive brain stimulation as an intervention for Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. Using both brain imaging and brain stimulation, we seek to understand how atrophy in the brain leads to symptoms and how non-invasive brain stimulation can alleviate symptoms and improve cognitive health in aging. In our research study we use a form of brain stimulation called repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS). rTMS slightly alters activity in an area of the brain that controls cognition. Changes resulting from this stimulation will be measured with behavioral tests of cognition, behavioral questionnaires, and brain imaging.

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
