Findings by the Tsai lab and others 1-8 demonstrate that 40 Hz frequency sensory stimulation induces electrophysiological responses and attenuates pathology in mouse models of Alzheimers disease (AD). A recent study in Nature Neurosciene 9 concluded that the stimulation does not affect endogenous gamma oscillations or amyloid burden. We welcome research investigating 40 Hz sensory stimulation, and the article by Soula et al enhances our understanding of the brains electrophysiological response to 40Hz. However, we respectfully suggest that the data in Soula et al are consistent with a neuronal response to 40 Hz, which we further support with new data in humans. Moreover we contend the non-significant effects on amyloid are due to technical limitations of the study.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
