| Cognito Therapeutics develops neurotechnology therapies designed to treat neurodegenerative diseases by stimulating specific brain activity patterns. The company focuses on noninvasive therapeutic systems that use synchronized visual and auditory stimulation to influence neural activity associated with cognitive function and brain health. Itstechnology platform, Spectris, is designed to evoke gamma-frequency brain waves, which play a role in learning, memory, and communication between neurons. The platform delivers controlled light and sound signals through a wearable device to trigger gamma oscillations in the brain, a pattern of neural activity that is disrupted in conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. By restoring this activity, the therapy aims to support processes related to synaptic function, myelin integrity, and neural connectivity.Cognito Therapeutics conducts clinical research and trials to evaluate how its neuromodulation technology affects cognitive performance, brain structure, and functional abilities in patients with neurodegenerative disorders. The company studies the biological effects of sensory stimulation on brain pathways, immune responses, and neural signaling networks associated with disease progression. Through its research programs and device development, Cognito Therapeutics produces medical technologies intended for clinical treatment and investigation of neurological conditions that affect memory, cognition, and daily functioning. | $105M / Series C / Mar 05, 2026 | ||
