The impact of gamma transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) on cognitive and memory processes in patients with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease: A literature review

Transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) —a noninvasive brain stimulation technique that modulates cortical oscillations through entrainment—has been demonstrated to alter oscillatory activity and enhance cognition in healthy adults. TACS is being explored as a tool to improve cognition and memory in patient populations with mild cogni tive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD).
