Experimental treatments for Alzheimer's disease involving sounds and flickering lights have shown promise in slowing cognitive decline by enhancing the brain's waste disposal networks. Research from MIT and other institutions suggests that light flickering and sound clicking at 40 Hz can reduce Alzheimer's progression and treat symptoms. Impaired spatial navigation has been identified as an early indicator of Alzheimer's in asymptomatic adults. Studies have found that neuronal waves during sleep help clear metabolic waste and remove debris from the brain, potentially offering insights into Alzheimer's disease.

Another function of neural traveling waves is clearing metabolic waste. The waves are there for a reason. It turns out that there are many reasons. Neuronal dynamics direct cerebrospinal fluid perfusion and brain clearance https://t.co/fiFcoadQ5e #neuroscience
Alzheimer’s-Linked Neuronal Waste Expelled in Coordinated Waves during Sleep Mouse study found that during sleep neurons act as “miniature pumps,” and that synchronized neural activity powers fluid flow and removal of debris from the brain.
