The goal of this pilot study is to determine whether a high-dose form of non-invasive brain stimulation is a promising and safe treatment for Mild Cognitive Impairment. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is an FDA approved treatment for depression. In studies of TMS for depression and other disorders, individuals have experienced improved cognitive function. Thus, the current study is testing whether TMS is safe, feasible and effective in improving cognition in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment.
The proposed study will investigate the effect of congenital heart disease (CHD) on rates of employment, community participation, neuro-psychological comorbidities, and quality of life (QOL) in adults with Down syndrome. Knowledge of these longitudinal functional outcomes may assist clinician guidance to families and highlight needs for specific resources and interventions to achieve optimal outcomes in adulthood.
The goal of this study is to determine the pattern of cognitive impairment in chronic stroke, both in terms of performance during cognitive testing as well as brain neurocircuit activation.
Candidates for this study may or may not report disturbances in odor perception as their primary reason for seeking treatment at MUSC.

Data from clinical questionnaires will be de-identified and stored in a database.
Traumatic Brain Injury is a risk factor for Alzheimer's Disease and other dementias. This study will use neuroimaging in Veterans and civilians with a history of TBI or without TBI to understand whether some of the brain changes that occur in Alzheimer's Disease are present in people with a history of TBI. The study is recruiting male and female military Veterans or civilians with or without TBI between the ages of 30 and 65.
