MIT Scientists Use 40Hz Light and Sound to Trigger Brain Activity Linked to Clearing Alzheimer’s Plaques

Alzheimer’s disease research has focused on medications designed to slow the buildup of amyloid plaques and tau tangles—two proteins closely linked with the disease. While several drugs have shown promise, they often require infusions, can be expensive, and may not be appropriate for every patient. That has motivated researchers to investigate other approaches that might…
