- Enhanced environment restores memory in mice with neurodegeneration
04-29-2007 · EurekAlert!
Mice whose brains had lost a large number of neurons due to neurodegeneration regained long-term memories and the ability to learn after their surroundings were enriched with toys and other sensory stimuli, new studies have shown. The scientists were able to achieve the same results when they treated the mice with a specific type of drug that encourages neuronal growth. The studies suggest two promising avenues for treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease.
