New MIT study says whole-body stimulation improved motor performance, reduced phosphorylated tau, preserved neurons and synapses, and reduced DNA damage.
The mice were given whole-body vibrotactile stimulation at 40 Hz to test their brain pathology and motor function. The team found that the vibrotactile stimulation-induced neural activity both in the primary sensory cortex and the primary motor cortex .
The team made these conclusions after comparing their findings with the non-stimulated control group of mice.
