Alzheimer - memory loss

Alzheimer's disease destroys a person's ability to remember things, recall memories, both distant and as recent as a few hours before.

Although there is no cure yet for the illness, there may be hope for a cure with a protein called nerve cells in the same region of the brain where Alzheimer's occurs. Based on this relationship, scientists from the University of Lund in Sweden and the University of California at San Diego designed an experiment to test whether the doses of nerve growth factors could service the effect of memory loss due to Alzheimer's. 

Using a group of rats with impaired memory, the scientists have half of the rats doses of nerve growth factor while giving the other half a blood protein as a placebo, thus creating a control group. At the end of the four week test, the rats given the nerve growth factor performed equally to rats with normal memory power. While experiments do not show that nerve growth factor can stop the general process of declining caused by Alzheimer's, they do show potential as means to slowing the process significantly.
