Alzheimer's Study

An exciting article on the potential of DBS (deep brain stimulation) for Alzheimer's. This surgical implant procedure has traditionally been used to help Parkinson's patients regain some control and steadiness, but an accidental finding will spur new research on utilizing DBS to restore memories and brain function. It's early for sure, but it provides hope for an eventual treatment and/or cure for Alzheimer's.
