Summary: In this really short article, the author talks about how mice were injected with a drug named AF267B and through this, their emotional memory was paralyzed just as those with Alzheimer's disease. The opposing drug titled NGX267 reduces beta-amyloid plaques and affects the hippocampus for spatial learning is now being tested in humans.
Key Facts:
"An Alzheimer's affected brain area that's associated with emotional memory didn't benefit from the drug."
