TL;DR

MIT researchers have found that daily exposure to 40 Hz gamma frequency brain rhythm tactile stimulation improved brain health and motor function in mice and reduced key markers of Alzheimer’s disease, including levels of the hallmark Alzheimer’s protein phosphorylated tau, neural DNA damage, and neuron death. The study reinforces the potential of non-invasive sensory stimulation as a new therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative diseases.
