Targeting Default Mode Network Dysfunction in Persons At Risk of Alzheimer's Disease with Non-invasive Techniques
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Jan 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Default mode network (DMN) dysfunction is a well-established feature of Alzheimer's Disease (AD) and is already present in preclinical stages and in subjects at risk for AD, thus offering a potential target for early intervention. Non-invasive stimulation techniques are candidate approaches to modulate network dysfunction, however interventions specifically targeting subjects at risk for AD are lacking. This project will test a non-invasive intervention to modulate the DMN in cognitively healthy older adults carrying the main genetic risk factor for AD, the APOE e4 allele. The proposal will non-invasively stimulate the DMN in at risk subjects and will assess the neuronal-cognitive effect of this approach with multimodal neuroimaging and neurophysiological techniques.
