Scientists develop brain stimulation techniques using light therapy that offer mental health benefits
Current studies on brain science affirm that light can stimulate brain cells (neurons). This general field and technique is called optogenetics and scientists use it to better understand the neural connections, electrical impulses and chemical signals that occur in the brain. In 2019, Shuo Chen, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California in Berkeley received […]

Optogenetics and your brain: Researchers study the therapeutic potential of light
Can light restore vision to blind people and help treat paralysis in patients with Parkinson’s disease? German researchers have recently examined the possibility of stimulating light-sensitive proteins to achieve therapeutic effects on various health conditions. Optogenetics is a technique that manages processes in the brain through light-based stimulation. It achieves its effects through light-controlled proteins […]

Flashing lights and pink noise could be the key to preventing Alzheimer’s
Researchers believe they have found a potential treatment for Alzheimer’s disease. Animal tests show that exposing mice to light flashes and sound pulses at the frequency of 40 hertz can reverse some of the symptoms of the neurodegenerative disease. Alzheimer’s disease continues to defy any attempt at treating it. Several pharmaceutical drugs help regulate a few […]

New light therapy for Alzheimer’s targets brain plaque, slowing or preventing the disease
A recent study carried out by a team of researchers at Rice University in Houston, Texas has revealed that a relatively low-cost light therapy may help effectively eliminate amyloid beta proteins, which are precursors to dementia and Alzheimer’s disease onset. It has long been established that beta amyloid accumulation results in the development of the […]
