Abstract

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive disease that weakens memory and other critical mental abilities. And AD is the leading cause of dementia among elderly people. More people are suffering from AD, which is a increasing problem because aging population is becoming more and more serious worldwide. AD and other dementia diseases will cost the nation $345 billion and, following this trend, will cost 1 trillion dollars or so by 2050. Current treatments only provide relief of symptoms and are unable to fully cure the diseases. However, the neuroregulatory techniques may offer some hope in managing the symptoms and slowing down the progression of the disease. Neuromodulation technologies and brain-computer interfaces (BCI) bring the potential solution for AD by modulating the nervous system activities. We present the different types of neuromodulations and BCI techniques and discuss their advantages and limitations. Such as, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), electroencephalography (EEG), deep brain stimulation (DBS), et. al. We summarize the mechanisms and findings of these technologies in AD and discuss emerging technologies under research and development. Finally, we discuss the future development and possible challenging aspects of neuromodulation technologies and brain-computer interfaces in AD. These technologies are promising in improving the everyday activities and cognitive health of Alzheimer's patients, but further clinical studies and testing are needed.
