Israeli doctor says he has figured out how to “reverse” brain ageing.
63 people aged 65-plus recruited, taken MRI scans, and tested their cognitive abilities.
60-day course of treatment given, with 2-hours in pressurized chamber 5 times a week.
Significant difference in MRI results were seen with those who received therapy.

As well as significant change in cognitive function.
Improvements also found in tests held six months later.

“This is an interesting study with some preliminary promising outcomes."
Researchers from Tel Aviv University, published in Aging.
