Deep Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (rTMS) of the Precuneus for Alzheimer Disease (AD)

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if using deep repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) targeting the precuneus is feasible, tolerable, and potentially efficacious for memory in Probable Alzheimer's Dementia. Previous work studying rTMS in Alzheimer's is mixed, but recent work studying rTMS of the precuneus is encouraging for both its short-term and long-term effects. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Is deep rTMS of the precuneus feasible and tolerable in Alzheimer's? * Are there signs of positive brain changes in response to deep rTMS? * Is deep rTMS potentially efficacious for memory in Alzheimer's? Researchers will compare active stimulation to placebo stimulation while obtaining memory testing and measurements of the brain (imaging, scalp electrode measurements, bloodwork) to see if active treatment works to treat mild-to-moderate probable Alzheimer's Dementia. Participants will: * Engage with memory testing, brain scans, and bloodwork during a comprehensive assessment * Visit the clinic 3 times for 12 consolidated rTMS sessions, followed by 4 once weekly maintenance sessions * Be offered a full open-label active treatment course after completing their treatment course if they are initially in the placebo group

Discovery and Validation of Protein Structural Complexes in Circulating Biofluids As Novel Biomarkers for Early Diagnosis, Prognosis and Therapeutic Management of Patients Affected by Neurodegenerative Disorders

Neurodegenerative disorders (NDDs), such as Parkinson¿s disease (PD), Alzheimer¿s disease (AD), Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) are characterized by aggregation and intracellular accumulation of misfolded proteins, which are believed to play a key role in synaptic dysfunction and neuronal death. Protein structural complexes in biofluids have been proposed to mirror pathological conditions suggesting their use as biomarkers for NDDs characterized by protein aggregation. In this framework, we plan to: i) collect a large cohort of NDD and prodromal patients and healthy subjects using standardized clinical and genetics procedures; ii) apply a novel method based on genomics, proteomics and bioinformatic analysis to map protein complexes in biofluids; iii) identify novel circulating biomarkers and correlate them to genetic profiling and disease endophenotypes, and; iv) validate the biological properties in human brain tissue and dopaminergic cultures.

Effects of Endogenous Gamma Light Stimulation on Brain Oscillations in Cognitively-normal Older Adults

This study aims to evaluate the effects of endogenous gamma non-flickering light stimulation on resting-state EEG rhythms and cognitive function in cognitively healthy older adults. Specifically, it will assess the immediate and long-term effects of this stimulation on brainwave activity and cognitive performance. The study will explore the potential of gamma light stimulation as a non-pharmacological intervention for cognitive decline in aging populations.

Exploration of the Efficacy and Mechanisms of Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis in the Treatment of Alzheimer's Disease

The aim of this clinical trial is to determine whether Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis can treat Alzheimer's disease,in AD patients aged 18-80.he main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Can Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis improve cognitive function, daily living ability, mood, or sleep status in patients with Alzheimer's dementia, demonstrating good therapeutic efficacy? 2. Does deep Lymphaticovenous Anastomosis lead to changes in peripheral blood biomarker levels, neuroinflammatory responses, and neuroimaging in patients with Alzheimer's dementia?
