Plug in and play while watching this light, and feel your brain’s neurons rebuild and restore your memory and brain health.
It sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it?
I would say so. However, this claim is based on a new study published in the respected Journal of Nature Communications.
Before diving into the details of the study, let’s first look at one of the reasons why neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s happen.
Your brain’s white matter consists mostly of myelinated axons, signal-sending neuron branches. Myelin is a fatty insulation that wraps around these axons, allowing for the quick transmission of electrical signals between different parts of your brain.
When myelin is lost or damaged, as seen in conditions like Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, and many others, the brain’s communication network begins to break down. This leads to cognitive decline, memory loss, and other symptoms.
The authors of the new study had already performed research that showed that gamma frequency stimulation can reduce the buildup of harmful proteins in the brain, a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease. Their latest research focused on how it could preserve this critical myelin.
To investigate the effects of 40Hz sensory stimulation on myelin, the research team used a well-established mouse model of myelin loss. The mice were given a diet containing cuprizone, a chemical known to induce demyelination, which mimics the myelin loss seen in conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis.
The mice were then divided into four groups: a control group with a normal diet, a group exposed to cuprizone without sensory stimulation, a group exposed to cuprizone and non-40Hz sensory stimulation, and a group exposed to cuprizone and 40Hz sensory stimulation.
The 40Hz stimulation involved placing each mouse individually in a dark chamber illuminated by an LED bulb (12.5 ms light on/off, 60 W, 40 Hz) and subjecting them to a 40Hz auditory tone emitted by speakers (AYL, AC-48073) for 1 hour.
After six weeks, the researchers assessed the levels of myelin and the health of oligodendrocytes—the cells responsible for producing and maintaining myelin—in the brains of the mice.
The results were striking.
-
1. Mice exposed to 40Hz stimulation retained significantly more myelin than those that did not receive this specific frequency. In some measures, their myelin levels were comparable to those of the healthy control mice.
2. The number of oligodendrocytes in key brain regions was much closer to healthy levels in the 40Hz-stimulated mice.
3. 40Hz stimulation seemed to reduce a process known as ferroptosis. This is a type of cell death caused by the toxic buildup of reactive oxygen species, which is especially harmful to oligodendrocytes.
4. 40Hz sensory stimulation helped to protect synapses (the connections between neurons) by maintaining the proteins essential for synaptic function.
If you are interested in trying 40Hz gamma stimulation to address Alzheimer’s or dementia, I recommend approaching neurologists or psychologists who may have access to professional equipment.
