Drug Restores Cells and Memories in Alzheimer’s: Mouse Study

A new drug has proven effective at restoring memories and neural connections in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. The new drug was originally developed as a treatment for Schizophrenia. While the drug does not destroy amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's, it does allow the plaques to co-exist with neurons.
