Researchers say they may have made huge progress towards an Alzheimer’s cure by finding a way to flip back on the memories in patients.
A new compound could be the first step towards creating an actual Alzheimer’s cure, researchers say. That’s because the new compound can actually “flip back on” the memory of patients affected by Alzheimer’s.
As research into Alzheimer’s continues, we’re learning more about the disease. Plaque on the brain—which is responsible for the memory loss we associate with the disease—is actually not a cause of Alzheimer’s itself. Instead, scientists believe it is merely a symptom and, thus, something that we can treat.
And so, researchers have been looking for ways to create an Alzheimer’s cure that can bring back the memories of patients who have brains affected by that plaque.
