Brain Stimulation for Cognitive Enhancement in the Older Person: State of the Art and Future Directions

Abstract: Advances in medicine and healthcare and better education about healthy living have led to a greater proportion of people living healthily into older age. As the global population ages, it will become necessary to address the societal implications of this demographic change. Successful treatment of physical illnesses means that people are more likely to experience cognitive decline, either naturally through the ageing process or through the onset of dementia and related disorders. This will shift the healthcare… Show more

“…While the sample included here only covers the middle decades (20s to 60s), it is likely that the distance from scalp to brain surface will change more noticeably in an older sample (Lemaître et al, 2005). Indeed the depth of M1 did correlate with age in this sample, highlighting the need for person-specific models in older populations (Davis, 2017b).…”

“…The shape of the brain within the skull may be affected by many variables, including by dietary factors and hydration (Croll et al, 2018;Duning et al, 2005), by smoking (Gallinat et al, 2006) and by chronological age (Madan & Kensinger, 2018). This latter factor is of particular interest given the possibility of using non-invasive brain stimulation to address cognitive changes in healthy ageing and in disorders of older age (Davis, 2017b;Perceval, Flöel, & Meinzer, 2016).…”

“…Including several covariates to for inter-individual differences in tDCS response [108][109][110] strengthened the observed beneficial effect of training success in MCI (Model 1). Specifically, lower age, female gender, a lower BDI baseline score, and higher MWT score were associated with increased training success.…”

“…However, most of the evidence related to inter-individual differences stems from single session studies, but both CT (Jaeggi et al, 2014 ; Katz et al, 2016 ) and CT in combination with atDCS can be potentially influenced by individual variability. Thus, it is important to further identify, control and/or counteract different sources of variability in multi-session studies, to allow for more reliable atDCS effects across individuals, see also (Shin et al, 2015 ; Davis, 2017 ) for further discussion.…”
