Cerebrospinal fluid levels of Aβ42 relationship with cholinergic cortical activity in Alzheimer’s disease patients
The dysfunction of cholinergic neurons is a typical hallmark in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In animal models of AD, fragments of amyloid beta protein (Aβ) and Tau protein are thought to interfere with central ch...

Dopaminergic Modulation of Cortical Plasticity in Alzheimer’s Disease Patients
In animal models of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), mechanisms of cortical plasticity such as long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) are impaired. In AD patients, LTP-like cortical plasticity is...

Effects of Cerebellar Theta Burst Stimulation on Contralateral Motor Cortex Excitability in Patients with Alzheimer’s Disease
Although the cerebellum is not among the most renowned brain structures affected in Alzheimer`s disease (AD), recent evidence suggest that it undergoes degenerative changes during the course of the disease. A ...

Open AccessMacro and micro structural preservation of grey matter integrity after 24 weeks of rTMS in Alzheimer’s disease patients: a pilot study
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is characterized by structural and functional dysfunction involving the Default Mode Network (DMN), for which the Precuneus (PC) is a key node. We proposed a randomized double-blind pi...
