GENUS gamma-sensory entrainment of PV+ GABAergic interneurons (non-contact 40Hz)

Tier 3 — Demonstrated (Lab-proven)

Legacy status: DEMONSTRATED

Technique Details

Tactic: QIF-E.RD
Status: DEMONSTRATED
Bands: N1, N2, N3

✚ Therapeutic Application

40Hz visual LED flicker and/or auditory click trains (1hr/day) entrain PV+ fast-spiking GABAergic interneurons via endogenous sensory pathway resonance. Iaccarino 2016 (Nature): 40Hz-specific (not 20Hz, not 80Hz) PV interneuron drive reduces amyloid ~50% in 5XFAD mice, activates microglia. No electrode contact required. Distinct from T0103 (SSVEP hijack targets BCI signal spoofing, not interneuron NT modulation).
