Wayfinding Intervention and Long-Term Memory
This trial tests whether a VR-based navigation video game called LabyrinthVR can improve long-term memory and hippocampal function in older adults with or at risk for mild cognitive impairment. Participants play either the VR game or a placebo game and undergo brain imaging to measure changes. This is a Phase NA behavioral study, meaning it is testing a non-drug approach rather than a medication.
