Saturday, April 16Magnetic waves may help Alzheimer's patients
LINK: "Researchers have discovered that patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease may be able to recover some of their memory if they are treated in the early stages of the disease with magnetic waves.
The Montreal researchers are presenting their findings to brain specialists and scientists in Miami at the America Academy of Neurology meeting this week. Researchers discovered that when transcranial magnetic stimulation — or TMS electrical signals — was applied to the heads of Alzheimer's patients, the signals helped to increase the brain's functioning. Subjects could recall words 30 per cent more often than subjects who did not receive the stimulation.
