Researchers at Imperial College London have developed a new non-invasive method called temporal interference (TI) for stimulating deep brain regions, such as the hippocampus, to potentially treat brain diseases like Alzheimer’s and memory loss. This technique delivers electrical fields to the brain through electrodes on the scalp, eliminating the need for surgical implantation of electrodes. The researchers are now conducting a clinical trial on individuals with early-stage Alzheimer’s disease to determine if TI can help improve memory-related symptoms.
How might this impact the future of dementia and memory-related disorder treatments?
