You can call any of these for free. You do not need a diagnosis, an appointment, or a crisis to call — questions and plain exhaustion are reasons enough.

Newest first, then by address. Each study has a usefulness score out of 100 (rubric version 4.0); tap a score to see what makes it up. Tags were assigned automatically from each study's title and summary. The same studies as a filter in the library.

  1. Gamma frequency sensory stimulation in mild probable Alzheimer's dementia patients: Results of feasibility and pilot studies

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 79 out of 100. PloS one 2022-12-01 Brain scans and imaging

    Non-invasive Gamma ENtrainment Using Sensory stimulation (GENUS) at 40Hz reduces Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology such as amyloid and tau levels, prevents cerebral atrophy, and improves behavioral testing performance in mouse models of AD.

  2. A feasibility trial of gamma sensory flicker for patients with prodromal Alzheimer's disease

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 47 out of 100. Alzheimer's & dementia (New York, N. Y.) 2021-05-13 Genetics

    These findings show that prolonged gamma sensory flicker is safe, tolerable, and feasible with preliminary indications of immune and network effects, supporting further study of gamma stimulation in AD.

  3. Activity-dependent isolation of the presenilin- gamma -secretase complex reveals nicastrin and a gamma substrate

    ✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 36 out of 100. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America 2002-02-26 Risk genes beyond APOE

    Presenilin heterodimers apparently contain the active site of gamma-secretase, a polytopic aspartyl protease involved in the transmembrane processing of both the Notch receptor and the amyloid-beta precursor protein.
