"Novel Light and Sound Therapy Targets Alzheimer's and Chemo Brain"
MIT researchers have discovered that a noninvasive treatment involving light and sound stimulation at 40 hertz can protect brain cells from chemotherapy-induced damage and prevent memory loss and cognitive impairment in mice. This treatment, originally developed for Alzheimer's disease, has shown promising effects in countering the cognitive effects of chemotherapy and has potential applications for various neurological disorders. The treatment stimulates gamma waves in the brain, reducing DNA damage, inflammation, and promoting the production of myelin-producing cells. Clinical trials in Alzheimer's patients have shown positive results, and the researchers are now exploring its potential for other neurological conditions.
