A new Alzheimer’s treatment called focused therapeutic ultrasound beams sound waves into brain tissue and stimulates the brain’s waste removal system, safely enabling a clearance of the plaques, clumps and tangles that block memories. This non-invasive technology uses sound waves to safely open the blood-brain barrier where your ‘janitorial’ microglial cells can sweep out the garbage for … Continue reading New Alzheimer’s treatment using ultrasound yields 75% success rate, restoring complete memory function in trial run
Scientists use ultrasound waves to eliminate Alzheimer’s-related brain plaque
Scientists have successfully used ultrasound waves to break up the amyloid plaques in the brains of mice with a form of Alzheimer's disease, in a study conducted by researchers from the University of Queensland in Australia and published in the journal Science Translational Medicine. The intervention also improved cognitive symptoms in the treated mice. The researchers … Continue reading Scientists use ultrasound waves to eliminate Alzheimer’s-related brain plaque
