Don't Use The D Word With Christian Howell

<p>In this episode of the Crux of Neuro, Liz Moyles is joined by Christian Howell, CEO of Cognito Therapeutics, to explore what happens when neuroscience, light, sound, and clinical research come together to tackle one of the biggest challenges in brain health: Alzheimer’s disease. </p><p>From MIT research on 40Hz gamma activity to a home-based therapy using light and sound, Christian explains the science behind Cognito’s approach and what it takes to translate breakthrough neuroscience into something patients can actually use.</p><p><br /></p><p>Key Topics</p><p>How MIT research into 40Hz gamma activity led to a new approach to Alzheimer’s treatment</p><p>How light and sound stimulation can induce and sustain 40Hz brain activity</p><p>What researchers are learning about synapses, myelin, mitochondria, blood flow, and neuroinflammation</p><p>What Cognito’s 673-person clinical study is designed to reveal</p><p>How personalised, home-based brain stimulation could make neurological therapy more accessible</p><p><br /></p><p>Related Insights</p><p>Why Alzheimer’s is a challenge affecting entire families and caregivers</p><p>How EEG, proteomics, MRI, and cognitive testing can help measure the impact of a therapy</p><p>Why partnerships with institutions such as Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute and Ochsner Health matter</p><p>How the platform could eventually be explored across conditions including Parkinson’s, stroke, MS, and traumatic brain injury</p><p><br /></p><p>Core Challenges</p><p>Turning breakthrough neuroscience into a real therapy requires more than promising science, it requires clinical evidence, regulatory progress, patient trust, and accessibility.</p><p>Making innovative neurological technology available to the people who need it most remains a major challenge.</p><p>Cognito’s approach is grounded in balancing scientific rigor with the responsibility to take patients’ hopes seriously.</p><p><br /></p><p>Tune in now to hear how Christian believes 40Hz sensory stimulation could change the future of brain health, and what it takes to move breakthrough neuroscience from the lab into people’s homes.</p>
