Researchers at the University of Lethbridge have confirmed a medical breakthrough, proving therapy can restore mammals’ memory power.
Scientists at the university’s Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience said Friday they’ve replicated the gradual memory loss that afflicts millions of seniors, using standard laboratory rats to demonstrate the loss. But then, said lead researcher Robert Sutherland, they succeeded in reversing that loss through a combination of medication and training.
“The memory was totally restored,” he said. Damaged cells recovered.
While work remains before the approach can be tested in humans, Sutherland predicted this discovery could provide a remedy for an age-related disease that’s already costing billions of dollars — and destroying many seniors’ quality of life.
“This is a very exciting step.”
Alzheimer’s disease, caused by the gradual death of cells in the cerebral cortex, is diagnosed in thousands of Canadians every year.
“Without fundamental scientific advances like ours, it is certain that the burdens will grow dramatically,” he said. “It is urgent that we find ways of preventing, reversing and repairing injured brains.”
The Lethbridge research team’s findings, he added, are “a significant advance in that direction.” More: lethbridgeherald.com
