The goal of this study is to determine the optimal dose of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) to improve memory, thinking, and mood in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and depression. Our hope is that TMS can be used to help MCI patients PUSH against memory decline and depression.

What is TMS?
TMS is a non-invasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells. A magnetic field is generated by a coil in a paddle. This paddle is held against the head to stimulate a specific area of the brain. The majority of patients report that TMS treatment does not hurt; it feels as if someone is tapping on your head. TMS is an FDA-approved treatment for depression. It has also been shown as a promising treatment for many other conditions.
