Do we lose memories with Alzheimer’s or the ability to access them?
Until now, scientists have assumed that Alzheimer’s disease destroys the ability to make memories. New research on mice suggests memory abilities may not be gone but that access to the memories may be blocked by the disease. This is exciting news for possible future treatments; however, experts caution that these results are very preliminary, and additional research is necessary to confirm the findings.
