Blocking an enzyme improves age-related memory problems

Researchers have identified an enzyme that’s key to updating existing memories with new information, a process that declines naturally with age. Blocking the enzyme improved memory impairment, opening the door to developing treatments for age-related m… Continue reading Blocking an enzyme improves age-related memory problems

New compound flips memory back on in Alzheimer’s cases

A new molecule that switched memory and cognition back on in mice with Alzheimer's could one day do the same for humans, as illustrated in this generative image

Instead of focusing on fighting the plaques linked to Alzheimer’s, researchers took a look at boosting electrical oscillations in the brain. The molecule they invented got the job done in mice, offering hope for a new treatment path for humans.
