"Enhancing Brain Clearance: The Promise of 40Hz Light and Sound in Alzheimer's Treatment"

Researchers from MIT have discovered that sensory stimulation at a gamma frequency of 40 Hz can enhance the brain's clearance of amyloid proteins, potentially offering a new avenue for Alzheimer's treatment. This stimulation activates the brain's glymphatic system, facilitating the removal of waste from the brain. The study's findings shed light on the biological mechanisms underlying this process, highlighting the role of neuronal activity, peptide signaling, and the glymphatic system in combating neurodegenerative diseases.

"Neuronal Dynamics and Sleep: Uncovering the Brain's Self-Cleaning Mechanisms"

A study on neuronal dynamics reveals their role in directing cerebrospinal fluid perfusion and brain clearance, shedding light on the glymphatic system's function. The research provides insights into the relationship between neuronal activity and the clearance of waste products from the brain, potentially impacting our understanding of conditions like Alzheimer's disease and sleep disorders. The data and Matlab codes used in the study are available for further exploration.
