摘要: Ultrasonic energy is used for treating degenerative dementia. A focal point of an ultrasonic transducer beam directed at a target area the brain to promote removal substances that accumulate in interstitial pathways are least partially responsible In one example, may comprise hippocampus and dementia be Alzheimer's disease. The stimulate tissue frequency corresponds naturally occurring deep sleep burst neurons subsequent astrocyte activation patterns drive convective process solute disposal. For generate between 1-4 hertz functions help remove amyloid plaque.
