Cortico–Cortical Paired Associative Stimulation (ccPAS) in Ageing and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Quali-Quantitative Approach to Potential Therapeutic Mechanisms and Applications

<b>Background/Objectives</b>: Cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) pose a major challenge for the ageing population, with impaired synaptic plasticity playing a central role in their pathophysiology. This article explores the hypothesis that cortico–cortical paired associative...
