These gamma waves are diminished in alzheimer s disease.
40 hz light alzheimer s.
Bathing patients in flashing light and pulsing sounds both tuned to a frequency of 40 hertz might reverse key signs of alzheimer s in the brain according to a paper published in cell on.
Using this device the researchers found that an hour of exposure to light flickering at 40 hertz enhanced gamma oscillations and reduced beta amyloid levels by half in the visual cortex of mice in the very early stages of alzheimer s.
Tsai found that the gamma power of neurons decreased before beta amyloid plaques or cognitive impairment developed.
Every 40 hz therapy light kit is calibrated and passes a quality inspection before being shipped.
1x 5vdc wall adapter 1x 50 warm white led light strand 1x 40hz gamma light therapy adapter.
Current research suggests that exposure to a light or sound at 40hz 40 times per second promotes gamma brain wave activity through the entrainment phenomenon.
These plaques are implicated in alzheimer s disease.
New research in alzheimer s disease mouse models shows that exposure to light flickering at the rate of 40 flashes per second or 40hz increased gamma brainwaves and led to clearing of beta amyloid plaques in the brain a key abnormality in alzheimer s disease.
Gamma frequencies i e roughly 40 hz appear to be important for cognition and your brain s ability to fire large groups of neurons this way decreases in alzheimer s and other diseases.
In 2016 mit s alzheimer s group did experiments on transgenic mice with early alzheimer s disease and found that exposing them to a light flickering at a frequency of 40 hz 40 times a second for 1 hour a day for 7 days causes an almost 60 reduction in β amyloid plaques which are a molecular hallmark of alzheimer s.
The treatment also stimulated the activity of debris clearing immune cells known as microglia.
Your light therapy kit has been specially designed to flicker at 40 hz 40 times per second and includes.
New research suggests that exposure to a light flickering at 40 hz may promote gamma wave brain activity which could potentially activate cells in the brain to eliminate beta amyloid plaques.
In preclinical studies dr.
This research indicates that the increase in gamma brain waves could be used as an alternative therapy for many hard to treat brain diseases.
