Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Brain stimulation has emerged as a promising treatment for many brain and mental health conditions. While it has received approval for the treatment of some diseases, the efficacy of stimulation on memory disorders such as dementia remains unknown. The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) is a primary target in brain research, with some favorable results having been found, but alternative targets and frequencies are proving to have strong potential for reducing cognitive loss. Comprehensive clinical and basic research is needed to fully explore the optimal parameters and biochemical pathways induced by brain stimulation. This Special Issue focuses on various studies related to any form of brain stimulation to boost memory with the goal of gaining insight into this potential treatment modality.
