Summary

This trial will use a personalized, non-invasive brain stimulation protocol to prevent cognitive decline in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and cognitively normal individuals at high risk of developing Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for English-speaking individuals aged 50-80 with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), who can attend daily sessions for 4 weeks, and haven't been in another study recently. They should have certain scores on cognitive tests like the MMSE or MoCA, be right-handed, and not have dementia.
What is being tested?
The study aims to prevent cognitive decline using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). It involves personalized brain stimulation guided by MRI imaging to enhance memory and delay Alzheimer's disease progression in those at high risk.
What are the potential side effects?
While rTMS is generally considered safe, potential side effects may include discomfort at the stimulation site, headache, lightheadedness, or rare seizures.
