Study: Drug Cures Alzheimer's Symptoms in Mice


Researchers at Yale have found that a drug can reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease in mice, giving them hope that it could do the same thing in humans.

The researchers found that the drug, known as TC-2153, prevented a particular protein from impairing learning and memory functions. In the study, a single dose was enough to reverse the effects of Alzheimer's, allowing the mice to learn and recall motor skills, spatial information, signals and object memory.
