Drug That Induces Labor Shows Promise as Alzheimer's Treatment

A drug used to induce labor has the potential to protect the aging brain from a build-up of toxic waste implicated in neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease.

New sleep study ignites brain cleaning controversy | BPS

Recent work challenges ideas of increased toxin clearance during sleep — though some researchers question the study’s methods.

Flashing Lights And a Clicking Sound Cleared Toxic Proteins in Alzheimer's Mice

Could Alzheimer's disease one day be treated by flashes of light and clicks of sound? Scientists have now demonstrated how stimulating high-frequency brain waves in mice can clear out the amyloid protein clumps associated with Alzheimer's.

How 40 Hz Light and Sound Waves Could Halt Alzheimer’s

Activating a specific brain wave through light and sound therapy enhances the release of peptides from interneurons, promoting the removal of Alzheimer's-related proteins through the brain's glymphatic system, according to recent research. Research from MIT and other institutions is increasingly sh
