Enhancing cognitive training effects in Alzheimer’s disease: rTMS as an add-on treatment

First study employing rTMS to prime and enhance the efficacy of CT and to demonstrate the generalization of treatment effects beyond the trained cognitive function and the trained cognitive domain. The present results provide evidence suggesting the usefulness of rTMS as an add-on instrument to enhance face-name associative memory training effects and to induce a generalization to spatial reasoning in AD.
