Sensory gamma entrainment: Impact on amyloid protein and therapeutic mechanism

Brain Res Bull. 2023 Oct 1:202:110750. doi: 10.1016/j.brainresbull.2023.110750. Epub 2023 Aug 23.

Abstract

The deposition of amyloid β peptide (Aβ) is one of the main pathological features of AD. The much-talked sensory gamma entrainment may be a new treatment for Aβ load. Here we reviewed the generation and clearance pathways of Aβ, aberrant gamma oscillation in AD, and the therapeutic effect of sensory gamma entrainment on AD. In addition, we discuss these results based on stimulus parameters and possible potential mechanisms. This provides the support for sensory gamma entrainment targeting Aβ to improve AD.

Keywords: Alzheimer's disease; Amyloid beta peptide; Amyloid precursor protein; Sensory gamma entrainment.
