This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) provides $147,933 to the University of Florida to conduct a 5-year study investigating the effects of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) on working memory performance and functional connectivity in individuals with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) compared to healthy controls. The study aims to characterize the acute (one-time) application of tDCS with standard fixed dosing on working memory...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 Aging Research) provides $1,167,871 to the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center in Boston, Massachusetts to conduct a randomized controlled trial evaluating the use of home-based transcranial electrical stimulation (tDCS) to improve cognitive and motor function in older adults at risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The study aims to determine if long-term tDCS can induce sustained improvements in...
This Project Grant awarded by the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), provides $1,193,500 to the Lovelace Biomedical Research Institute to investigate the mechanisms by which transcranial electrical stimulation (TES) techniques, including transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), modulate cerebral microcirculation and endothelial function. The research aims to...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded Weinberg Medical Physics, Inc. a $100,000 Project Grant (R41AG085838) to conduct a comprehensive clinical study on using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) guided by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) to treat balance deficits in elderly patients with a history of falls. The project aims to build on early human study data showing that this TMS-based...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will provide $3,078,301 to the Regents of the University of Michigan to evaluate the effects of personalized brain stimulation as a potential treatment for Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA), a condition often caused by Alzheimer's disease. The 4-year project will use functional brain imaging and eye-tracking to assess changes in the dorsal attention network and real-world visual and spatial abilities...
This $804,795 Project Grant was awarded on September 18, 2024 by the National Institute on Aging (NIA) under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866). The funding supports a comprehensive research project investigating the neural mechanisms underlying the relationship between gait and cognitive function in individuals with subjective cognitive decline and a family history of Alzheimer's disease. The project aims to determine how declines in vestibular system function and...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research federal grant program (CFDA 93.866), is funding a research project to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying cognitive contributions to walking as an early marker for risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The total award amount is $2,030,488 and the project period runs from Sep 17, 2024 to May 31, 2029. The research aims to: 1) Investigate gait deficits during tasks requiring...
This $423,147 federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) to Emory University will fund research to understand the effects of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) on gait function and locomotor flexibility. The project will compare split-belt treadmill adaptation, gait performance, and cognitive function between healthy older adults, those with MCI, and those with AD. Longitudinal assessments will track disease...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute on Aging (CFDA 93.866 - Aging Research) will explore the efficacy of applying transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (TVNS) during motor skill training to enhance motor learning in healthy older adults. The primary goal is to examine the effect of post-success TVNS during motor training on motor learning outcomes in this population. The project will also investigate whether the motor learning facilitation is associated with acute...
The National Institute on Aging (NIA), under the Aging Research Federal Grant Program (CFDA 93.866), awarded a $1,023,154 Project Grant (R01AG084683) to the University of Colorado-Denver to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) in improving rehabilitation outcomes for patients who have undergone total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The study aims to compare outcomes between patients receiving contemporary rehabilitation with NMES versus usual...
