This study is testing a new way to help people with Alzheimer's disease using a procedure called **intermittent Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)**. Alzheimer's is a disease that affects the brain and memory. DBS involves sending small electrical impulses to a part of the brain called the **nucleus basalis of Meynert**. The study will last for two years to see if DBS can help maintain or improve thinking skills. There will be 12 participants in total, with 6 receiving DBS and 6 being observed without it (control group). This study is being conducted at the Wellstar MCG Memory Clinic.
Key Points to Consider:
- The study lasts for at least two years.
- Participants must be 65-85 years old and in the early stages of Alzheimer's.
- Participant data may be shared online with identifying information removed.
If you're interested, you should be living at home and have a caregiver who can help. Exclusion criteria include other brain-related issues or severe medical conditions.
