Flashing Lights And a Clicking Sound Cleared Toxic Proteins in Alzheimer’s Mice : ScienceAlert
Could Alzheimer's disease one day be treated by flashes of light and clicks of sound? Scientists have now demonstrated how stimulating high-frequency brain waves in mice can clear out the amyloid protein clumps associated with Alzheimer's.Previous research has shown that stimulating high-frequency brain waves, called gamma waves, might improve the brain's ability to clear out waste – waste that can contribute to neurological diseases like Alzheimer's – but this study takes a closer look at the mechanism involved.In tests…
