    Radiolab's latest podcast talks about some very interesting research underway at MIT. Mice in various stages of mouse-alzheimer's are being exposed to light, pulsating at the Gamma frequency--or the frequency of neuron firing that brains exhibit when performing high-level tasks. In Alz patients, this frequency of brain activity is found to be very low.

    They've found that an hour/day of exposure not only clears 50% of the amyloid plaque away, but has enabled the recovery of memories assumed to be gone.

    This is mice, and there's a relatively abysmal record of mouse studies translating to efficacy in humans, but this shows some intriguing promise.

    Emily.......... It's good to see that you're still around here.
    That Radiolab article is very interesting. Thanks for sharing
    it with us.

    I still enjoy your little video "Monster Din" which I downloaded
    a long time ago. Also your song "It's Raining".

    You are certainly a very talented little girl.
