Alzheimer's disease impairs a person's ability to recall memories, both distant and as recent as a few
hours before. Although there is not yet a cure for the illness, there may be hope for a cure with a protein
called nerve growth factor. The protein is produced by nerve cells in the same region of the brain where
Alzheimer's occurs. Based on this relationship, scientists from the University of Lund in Sweden and the
University of California at San Diego designed an experiment to test whether doses of nerve growth factor
could reverse the effects of memory loss caused by Alzheimer's. Using a group of rats with impaired
memory, the scientists gave half of the rats doses of nerve growth factor while giving the other half a blood
protein as a placebo, thus creating a control group. At the end of the four-week test, the rats given the
nerve growth factor performed equally to rats with normal memory abilities. While the experiments do not
show that nerve growth factor can stop the general process of deterioration caused by Alzheimer's, they
do show potential as a means to slowing the process significantly.
