Latest Patents

Suk’s listed patent work includes “Systems and Methods for Preventing, Mitigating, and/or Treating Dementia.” The disclosed devices and methods use combined auditory and visual stimulation, delivered non-invasively at frequencies of about 20 to 60 Hz, with about 40 Hz given as a specific example. The stimulation is designed to induce synchronized gamma oscillations in brain regions.

The patent description reports that combined auditory and visual stimulation, unlike either modality alone, can promote a microglia response in the medial prefrontal cortex. It also describes an extended microglia clustering response in the auditory cortex, visual cortex, and medial prefrontal cortex. These approaches are presented for treating dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.
