Non-surgical brain stimulation could be a new hope for dementia treatment

Researchers used non-surgical brain stimulation to treat dementia.

According to Tekna technology and technology news service, using new high-frequency technology, researchers were able to successfully stimulate the neurons in the hippocampus and use it to improve cognitive impairment in the elderly. This non-invasive treatment can be considered as one of the potential ways to improve memory in people with cognitive impairment as well as Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia models.

In this study, conducted by scientists from Imperial College London, brain stimulation is known as time interference, in which two high-frequency electrical fields will be sent to the brain in a harmless manner. These rays have 2000 Hz and 2005 Hz and will create a third current of 5 Hz in their passage. In fact, the third current as the main key in this method can help brain cells.

The 5 Hz current generated in the Hyocamp will stimulate the cells and will not affect the healthy tissue. Scientists hope that by using this method, the diseased neurons will return to activity and also the cells damaged by Alzheimer’s, including the mitochondria, will be revived.
