Clinical trials: Impaired Synaptic Plasticity
Mild Cognitive Impairment, Memory Impairment
Enhancing Frontal Lobes Plasticity in Mild Cognitive Impairment
More than 5 million people live with Alzheimer's dementia (AD) in North America. No effective treatment exists yet probably because by the time AD has developed it is too late to intervene.
