    Stimulating a key brain rhythm with light and sound increases peptide release from interneurons, driving clearance of Alzheimer's protein via the brain's glymphatic system, new study suggests.

    Alzheimer's is a disease for which there aren't any good therapeutic approaches. Drugs to combat the accumulation of beta amyloid have not been very successful. Stimulating the brain with 40 Hz light and sound would appear to be easily implemented. Testing it may be a little problematic, since a "double-blind" experiment is not possible.

    best bet is to not eat excessive carbs and get to that stage, but be cool if they found a treatment that helps if you do get there

    This is an exciting area of research.

    Recent breakthroughs in dementia treatments have been hailed as successes, but after decades of disappointing research it is difficult to be optimistic.
