Study reveals ways in which 40Hz sensory stimulation may preserve brain’s ‘white matter’
![Green staining indicates myelination in these mouse brain cross sections. The brain that received 40Hz light and sound stimulation (right) shows significantly more myelin in four brain regions (insets): the cortex (CTX), the anterior commissure (AC), the corpus callosum (CC), and the striatum (STR) than in mice who did not receive 40Hz stimulation.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology found that 40Hz sensory stimulation reduces brain cell inflammation and preserves myelin in Alzheimer’s patients.
