Abstract

With regard to the recent findings in Alzheimer animal models, some Neurotherapies are reviewed, specially Brainwave study, Neurofeedback and Audiovisual Estimulation techniques. With a a goal on Aging, Cognitive Impairment and Alzheimer disease improvement, and the possible diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic use in Humans. Some protocols which might offer significative improvements in Attention, Executive functions and Mood state are identified, specially for the first steps of the disease. The recent advances in Microglia stimulation are also reviewed. In General, the analyzed data of the classical protocols used, match with the result of the last 15 years of investigation of EEG diagnostic of Alzheimer.
