Scientists find clue to age-related memory loss
Experiments on mice suggested low levels of a protein in the brain
may be responsible for memory loss.
A clue to why memory deteriorates with age has been found by US
researchers.
Experiments on mice suggested low levels of a protein in the brain
may be responsible for memory loss.
It is hoped the discovery could lead to treatments to reverse
forgetfulness‚ but it is a big leap from the mouse to a human brain.
The team at Columbia University Medical Centre started by analysing
the brains of eight dead people‚ aged between 22 and 88‚ who had
donated their organ for medical research.
