CBC News - Technology & Science - Neuron research may hold hope for Alzheimer's: "U.S. scientists have found a chemical that can form neurons in brains of mice, and improve the memory of old rats.
The results, to be published in the journal Cell on Thursday, offer hope for a cure 'that will address the core illness process in Alzheimer's disease,' said Dr.Thomas Insel, director of the U.S. National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
The researchers found a chemical they called P7C3, which supported the formation of neurons — a process called neurogenesis — in the dentate gyrus region of the brain in mice."
