Improving Working Memory in Older Adults

NCT04362696 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 964

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The research program will evaluate the theoretical claim that age-related memory and cognitive decline in humans result from the inefficient orchestration of rhythmic activity within large-scale cortical networks. The results will contribute to the basic science groundwork for developing future non-pharmacological interventions aimed at boosting memory and cognition in aging and clinical populations.

Conditions

  • Large-scale Physiological Foundations of Memory Decline in Aging Humans

Interventions

DEVICE

High definition transcranial electrical current stimulation

Low-intensity and safe, noninvasive application of electrical current to the human scalp with the goal of gradually modulating levels of neuronal excitability.
