About Gary Mattson
In 2017, Gary Mattson led the first longitudinal study to demonstrate that targeted theta-frequency neurofeedback, delivered via non-invasive EEG-triggered auditory pulses, could slow hippocampal atrophy by 38% over 18 months in adults with mild cognitive impairment. His lab didn’t just measure decline; they mapped how daily narrative recall fidelity (not just word lists) predicted conversion to Alzheimer’s two years before clinical diagnosis. He insists memory isn’t a storage vault but a dynamic reconstruction process shaped by vascular health, sleep architecture, and even gut microbiome metabolites like butyrate, work he published in Nature Aging while advocating for policy changes to fund home-based multimodal monitoring. Gary avoids lab coats and whiteboards; his office is lined with annotated patient journals, vintage audiorecorders, and soil samples from community gardens where he tests environmental enrichment protocols. He believes the most urgent frontier isn’t erasing plaques, it’s preserving the lived coherence of a person’s story as neural networks rewire.
