Stimulation of gamma waves reduced levels of amyloid - β, decreased phosphorylation of tau, and led the brain's immune cells — microglia — to perform their usual housekeeping role, clearing away cellular debris, including amyloid - β (as opposed mounting an inflammatory response as microglia do in Alzheimer's disease, Tanzi explained).

During physiological conditions, the functions of tau protein are modulated by the activities of protein kinases and phosphatases that determine the extent of phosphorylation of this protein.
