Alzheimer's: Can an amino acid help restore memories?

Scientists have just shown that a metabolic pathway plays a determining role in Alzheimer's disease's memory problems. This work also shows that supplying a specific amino acid as a nutritional supplement in a mouse model of Alzheimer's restores spatial memory affected early. This is a promising path for reducing memory loss related to that disease.

The brain uses a large part of the energy available to our body. To work properly, neurons and the surrounding cells, particularly astrocytes, must cooperate. The early phase of Alzheimer's disease is characterized by a reduction in this energy metabolism, but until now we did not know whether this deficit contributed directly to the cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

Join with us at Brain and Spine 2020 and let’s have a great discussion. You are welcome at Paris, France on July 27-28, 2020, with the theme “New Horizons and global perspective in Brain and Spine research” which include Oral presentation, Poster presentation, Keynote talks, Exhibitors.
