| | | | From robots to brain games, new tools in the fight against Alzheimer's // Chronicle |
|
|
| Chronicle visits Professor Li-Huei Tsai to learn more about her work researching how stimulation via light and sound could one day be used to help treat Alzheimer's disease. "People who continued with this treatment, their memory capacity really has been maintained at a steady state level," explains Tsai. "And in a couple of patients, their Alzheimer's biomarkers actually significantly reduced." |
