| New brain cells coming right up. |
Pulsing magnetic fields have an effect on the growth of new brains cells,
says a study by the City University of New York.
This study looked at the implications for using Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation in a mouse model of Alzheimer's. Birthing new neurons could
be an excellent treatment to the revitalization of aged brains. The
scientists in the study are now looking at complimenting their magnetic
research with drug therapies, as well.
Parkinson's
Disease was not mentioned in the study, however, there patients suffer
from cell death and a lack of cell preservation in the area of the brain
called the basal ganglia. Cells in the basal ganglia are responsible
for pumping out dopamine for the sensory-motor cortex to use in
initiating movement.
If TMS could be used to regrow cells in
Parkinson's patients in an early course of treatment, perhaps the
condition could be delayed in its progress. With consistent subsequent
treatments, further research may prove or disprove the hypothesis that
it could be stopped entirely.
