"40Hz Light and Sound Therapy: A Breakthrough in Alzheimer's Treatment"

A study at MIT reveals that sensory stimulation at the gamma brain rhythm frequency of 40 Hz can reduce Alzheimer's disease progression in mice by promoting the clearance of amyloid proteins via the brain's glymphatic system. Researchers found that sensory gamma stimulation prompts a specific type of neuron to release peptides, which in turn drive processes that increase amyloid clearance. The study suggests that sensory stimulation of brain rhythms may offer potential for treating neurological disorders.

"Multisensory Stimulation Clears Amyloid and Slows Alzheimer's Progression"

Multisensory 40 Hz gamma stimulation has been found to promote glymphatic clearance of amyloid in the brain, potentially offering a therapeutic intervention for Alzheimer's disease. This stimulation increased arterial pulsation, CSF influx, and meningeal lymphatic vessel diameter, leading to enhanced clearance of amyloid. The stimulation also modulated astrocytic endfeet, promoting AQP4-dependent glymphatic clearance of amyloid. These findings suggest that noninvasive gamma stimulation may have a role in promoting brain health and potentially alleviating Alzheimer's disease pathology.
