Figure 7. Changes of episodic memory in SCD subjects after 2 weeks of rTMS treatment. The line chart depicts the changes in episodic memory in SCD subjects before and after 2 weeks of rTMS treatment. To improve the statistical power, this study used a re-sampling method of stationary bootstrap (10,000 bootstrap samplings) to obtain significance between groups. * p<0.05, ** p<0.01. Abbreviations: CN, healthy controls; SCD, subjective cognitive decline; HIPc, hippocampal cognitive region; MTG.L, left middle temporal gyrus; FC, functional connectivity; 2w-rTMS, 2 weeks of rTMS. AVLT-IR, Auditory Verbal Learning Test - immediate recall; AVLT-5min-DR, Auditory Verbal Learning Test – 5-min delayed recall, AVLT-20min-DR, Auditory Verbal Learning Test –20-min delayed recall.
