MIT researchers discovered a noninvasive gamma frequency brain wave treatment, initially for Alzheimer's, that protects mice from chemotherapy-induced "chemo brain" damage. The treatment, involving light and sound at 40 Hz, prevents memory loss and enhances cognitive functions. It reduces DNA damage, inflammation, and increases oligodendrocytes, the myelin-producing cells. Further human studies are planned.
