Core Tip

Core Tip: Mild cognitive impairment falls short of meeting the diagnostic criteria for dementia and is generally considered a transitional phase between normal aging and dementia. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation is currently considered an emerging treatment for early cognitive rehabilitation. This study will investigate the effectiveness and safety of the treatment from neuropsychological and neurophysiological perspectives using the memory quotient and the electroencephalogram as the subjects.
