TL;DR: Transcranial magnetic stimulation is a 20-year-old technique originally introduced to noninvasively investigate nervous propagation along the corticospinal tract, spinal roots, and peripheral nerves in humans and is extensively used in clinical neurophysiology, including rehabilitation and intraoperative monitoring.

TL;DR: It is shown for the first demonstration that the fraction of serum copper unbound to ceruloplasmin is correlated with cortical delta rhythms across Hold, MCI, and AD subjects, thus unveiling possible relationships among the biological parameter, advanced neurodegenerative processes, and synchronization mechanisms regulating the relative amplitude of selective EEG rhythms.

TL;DR: Transranial magnetic stimulation, along with clinical, neuropsychological, and neuroimaging data, could be an inexpensive measure of biological progression in AD and it might supplement traditional methods to assess the effects of therapy.

TL;DR: Validation of an Italian version of the Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status (I‐TICS) and its application to clinical practice is validated.

TL;DR: A perspective of the TMS techniques used to study neurophysiological aspects of AD is provided showing also that, based on different patterns of cortical excitability, TMS may be useful in discriminating between physiological and pathological brain aging at least at the group level.
