Six students with ties to MIT have been awarded fellowships by the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation: Jeffrey Brown, Liyam Chitayat, Vaibhav Mohanty, Sahil Pontula, Benjamin Spector, and Beatriz Yankelevich.
MIT scientists find that Alzheimer’s model mice exposed to 40 Hz vibration an hour a day for several weeks showed improved brain health and motor function compared to untreated controls.
Evidence that non-invasive sensory stimulation of 40 Hz gamma frequency brain rhythms can reduce Alzheimer's disease pathology and symptoms, already shown with light and sound by multiple research groups in mice and humans, now extends to tactile stimulation.
Tactile stimulation improved motor performance, reduced phosphorylated tau, preserved neurons and synapses and reduced DNA damage, a new MIT study shows
