Article Synopsis
- Cognitive exercises have a controversial impact on healthy aging, and the study explores their effects, with or without transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), on older adults with dementia.
- The pilot study involved 28 participants divided into two groups: one doing cognitive exercises only and the other receiving tACS alongside the exercises over four weeks.
- Results indicated significant cognitive improvements in both groups, with the tACS group showing even greater benefits lasting longer after the intervention, suggesting that tACS may enhance the long-term effectiveness of cognitive training.
The effect of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on cognitive function in older adults with dementia.

Recent studies have shown a positive effect of transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), a noninvasive brain stimulation technique, on cognitive function of healthy individuals [1]. However, investigation into the effects of tACS on individuals with dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is lacking. In this pilot study, we investigated the hypothesis that following a regular schedule of challenging brain exercises combined with simultaneous tACS application would improve the working memory and cognitive function of older adults with memory impairments.
