Transcranial Magneto-Acoustic Stimulation Attenuates Synaptic Plasticity Impairment through the Activation of Piezo1 in Alzheimer's Disease Mouse Model. [PDF]
Research (Wash D C), 2023The neuropathological features of Alzheimer’s disease include amyloid plaques. Rapidly emerging evidence suggests that Piezo1, a mechanosensitive cation channel, plays a critical role in transforming ultrasound-related mechanical stimuli through its ...

Acoustic Stimulator for Rats [PDF]
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1968The ear bar of a stereo-taxic instrument was modified to permit the introduction of acoustic stimuli to the rat's eardrum during acute experiments on the auditory nervous system. For measurement of the sound pressure of pure-tone stimuli, a probe microphone was attached to the hollow ear bar so that the probe tube tip is placed near the eardrum.

Acoustic Stimulation Improves Memory and Reverses the Contribution of Chronic Sleep Deprivation to Pathology in 3xTgAD Mice [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022Objective: Acoustic stimulation during sleep is believed to enhance slow waves, which are critical to memory consolidation. However, clinical trials of acoustic stimulation have yielded mixed results concerning its effectiveness in improving human memory.

Binaural acoustic stimulation in patients with Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
Front Neurol, 2023Acoustic stimulation can improve motor symptoms in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and might therefore represent a potential non-invasive treatment option. Scalp electroencephalography studies in healthy subjects indicate that specifically binaural beat stimulation (BBS) in the gamma frequency range is associated with synchronized cortical oscillations at 40 ...

Slow waves, the electroencephalographic (EEG) hallmark of deep sleep, can be systematically manipulated by acoustic stimulation: stimulation time-locked to the down phase of slow waves reduces, whereas stimulation time-locked to the up phase increases ...

Picosecond acoustic dynamics in stimulated Brillouin scattering [PDF]
Optics Letters, 2021Recent experiments demonstrating storage of optical pulses in acoustic phonons based on stimulated Brillouin scattering raise a number of questions about the spectral and temporal capacities of such protocols and the limitations of the theoretical frameworks routinely used to describe them.

Induction of slow oscillations by rhythmic acoustic stimulation [PDF]
J. Sleep Res. 22, 22-31 (2013), 2014Slow oscillations are electrical potential oscillations with a spectral peak frequency of $\sim$0.8 Hz, and hallmark the electroencephalogram during slow-wave sleep. Recent studies have indicated a causal contribution of slow oscillations to the consolidation of memories during slow-wave sleep, raising the question to what extent such oscillations can ...
