A new study published in the journal PLoS ONE has reported on the first human tests of an experimental therapy using sound and light to treat Alzheimer's disease (AD). The initial findings are ...

Riding high on early clinical trial results showing that its neuromodulation headset can improve memory and cognition and slow the deterioration of white matter in the brains of people with ...

Alzheimer's disease is a complicated and debilitating disease that has no cure. One startup is testing whether a "disco" of light and sound can slow the disease in patients. Cognito Therapeutics ...

An experimental treatment for Alzheimer’s disease that involves flickering lights and low-pitched sound may also help prevent cognitive problems after cancer treatment, sometimes called chemo brain, a ...

Researchers at DTU and UC Berkeley, together with spin-out company OptoCeutics, have invented a non-medical form of therapy that can improve brain activity: light-based deep brain stimulation that ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new light technology that appears to improve cognitive function in Alzheimer's patients in clinical trials. The hope is that the idea can be developed into ordinary lamps ...

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has introduced a potential noninvasive treatment to address the cognitive impairments associated with chemotherapy, known as "chemo brain," which ...

New research in mice reveals that an innovative light and sound stimulation therapy can clear toxic plaque buildup in the brain and reduce some of the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease and impaired ...

If you or someone you know has gone through chemotherapy, you might be familiar with the side effect commonly called 'chemo brain.' Scientists have now demonstrated a simple way to protect brain cells ...

2023 is expected to be a big year for research on Alzheimer's treatments. One drug, called Leqembi, recently got a green light from the FDA. Others are expected to release data from mid- and ...
