Abstract
Some device-based non-invasive brain stimulation methods have been recommended as probably effective for cognitive treatment in Alzheimer disease. New targets and novel transcranial electrical stimulation techniques enable physiology-inspired modulation of oscillatory activity and precise targeting of deep brain structures. The use of non-invasive brain stimulation techniques to treat mild cognitive impairment and dementia in Alzheimer disease is expanding. Trials have produced varying results depending on the differing stimulation techniques, targeted brain regions and degrees of cognitive impairment among the treated cohorts.
期刊介绍:
Nature Reviews Neurology aims to be the premier source of reviews and commentaries for the scientific and clinical communities we serve. We want to provide an unparalleled service to authors, referees, and readers, and we work hard to maximize the usefulness and impact of each article. The journal publishes Research Highlights, Comments, News & Views, Reviews, Consensus Statements, and Perspectives relevant to researchers and clinicians working in the field of neurology. Our broad scope ensures that the work we publish reaches the widest possible audience. Our articles are authoritative, accessible, and enhanced with clearly understandable figures, tables, and other display items. This page gives more detail about the aims and scope of the journal.
