The left angular gyrus as a potential stimulation site
impaired episodic memory retrieval and retention, Alzheimer's disease
ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE, CORTEX
Alzheimer's disease is typically characterized by progressively impaired episodic memory retrieval and retention before involving more widespread cognitive domains.We focused on the lateral angular cortex as a stimulation site because it is the portion of the hippocampal intrinsic fMRI connectivity networks that can be best targeted with rTMS because it is superficial. An rTMS‐fMRI study indicated that a multiple rTMS session protocol over the left angular cortex (based on connectivity in cortical‐hippocampal network) significantly improved memory performance, which was attributed to modulating synaptic plasticity.
