Researchers investigated how a 40Hz light and sound therapy helps preserve myelin in patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The therapy also shows potential for treating other conditions that involve ...

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, ...

Studies at MIT and elsewhere are producing mounting evidence that light flickering and sound clicking at the gamma brain rhythm frequency of 40 Hz can reduce Alzheimer's disease (AD) progression and ...

Scientists report that gamma frequency light and sound stimulation preserves myelination in mouse models and reveal molecular mechanisms that may underlie the benefit. Early-stage trials in ...

A new research paper documents the outcomes of five volunteers who continued to receive 40Hz light and sound stimulation for around two years after participating in an MIT early-stage clinical study ...

It is estimated that every 3 seconds, someone develops dementia – a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. By 2050, more than 150 million people ...

Green staining indicates myelination in these mouse brain cross sections. The brain that received 40Hz light and sound stimulation (right) shows significantly more myelin in four brain regions (insets ...
