If enhancing memory with light and sound seems futuristic, then welcome to the future. Or so some scientists say. Results from four early stage clinical trials on mild Alzheimer’s disease were ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Researchers at the Picower Institute are exploring whether stimulating the brain’s natural 40-hertz “gamma” rhythm can slow or ...

It has been shown that noninvasive optogenetic-driven 40 Hz stimulation promotes neural activity and attenuates pathology in the 5XFAD mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease. Findings from a new study ...

An emerging theory suggests that synchronized light and sound therapy may slow cognitive decline and neurodegeneration in mild to moderate Alzheimer’s disease. Despite decades of research, ...

Could a sound, emitted at a specific frequency, offer a solution to Alzheimer's disease? Researchers have demonstrated that 40 Hz auditory stimulation, administered to elderly monkeys, causes ...

Bright staining highlights VIP-expressing interneurons in this coronal cross-section of a mouse brain. The neurons may help drive glymphatic clearance of amyloid via the release of peptides. Studies ...

Achieve peak productivity by manipulating brain wave states. Instead of constantly operating in beta, shift to alpha for creativity, theta for deep insight, and gamma for breakthrough. Find "flow ...

During sleep, the brain cleans itself, turning up the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the gray matter parenchyma to wash away waste. What powers this flow? In the February 28 Nature online, ...

A gentle flicker of light and a steady hum of sound might help slow the course of Alzheimer’s disease. That’s the idea behind a novel therapy developed by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of ...
