Scientists Discover Promising Molecule That Restores Cognitive Function in Early Alzheimer’s

"After testing the effect of the drug WIN55.212-2, which interacts with cannabinoid receptors, on rodents in the early stages of the disease, the team found “that they behaved in the same way as those without brain damage: they learned and remembered spatial orientation in the same way,” explained Marta Moreno. “You could say that in some way the drug reversed the damage or protected the brain.”"
