Neuroscientists have learned to restore memory in Alzheimer’s disease

“We report that inhibition of the enzyme IDO1, which metabolizes tryptophan to kynurenine, restores hippocampal memory function in preclinical mouse models of Alzheimer’s disease,” the authors wrote in the study. – More on Alzheimer’s disease, IDO1 treatment could be relevant to dementia in Parkinson’s disease, as well as a wide range of tauopathies (non-neurodegenerative diseases associated with abnormal accumulation of tau protein in brain tissue. – Take good care.). “There is a possibility that impaired glucose metabolism in the brain may also underlie other neurodegenerative diseases.”
