Neurostimulation to Improve Depression and Memory in Dementia
Principal Investigator
Project Goals
The goal of this project is to unravel how symptom-specific home-based brain stimulation can effectively improve both depressive and memory symptoms in older adults with comorbid depression and Alzheimer's disease.
Project Summary
This project will combine two types of transcranial electrical stimulation, a noninvasive technology that allows for the modulation of brain network activity to address depressive and memory symptoms in older adults with depression and Alzheimer’s dementia. By using cutting-edge technology to study the electrical fields generated in the targeted brain circuits and delivering the intervention at home, this project will help develop a scalable, accessible, noninvasive intervention with the greatest impact on alleviating depression and Alzheimer’s symptoms.
