Accidental discovery raises hope in Alzheimer’s treatment
0During an experimental brain surgery to control the appetite of an overweight man, made an accidental breakthrough doctors could very well open up the functioning of memory. It was simply a side effect of the treatment of obesity, but the stimulation of memory could be the way to Alzheimer
doctors treat pave electrodes pushed into the deep hypothalamus -????. The part of the brain thought to control the appetite – and excited by electrical current. Instead of deleting the patient? S hunger, deep brain stimulation released earlier vivid memories of an experience of 30 years. This result was amazing and has the possibility of a pacemaker for the brain. He also created a path of study at present for patients with early Alzheimer’s? Disease.
Andean Professor Lozano, Principal Investigator of the Toronto Western Hospital, said after his team planted electrodes, memory was most intense near the fornix, a group of fibers carry signals only in the limbic system in memory and emotion is involved and to the left situated next to the hypothalamus.
The patient recalled in a retail park with friends, then his girlfriend when he was about 20. Since the electrical impulses increased, he could describe the scene vividly. After surgery, the patient recovered for two months, after which the electrodes were placed in a second time. Further tests showed that his ability to learn was greatly improved when the current was switched on and his brain was stimulated. It soon became apparent that the patient be well remembered tests when the electrodes are stimulated, but less if they were removed.
Professor Lozano, who also neurosurgery at the University of Toronto and is a world authority on DPS, said that the approach can only treat the symptoms of forgetfulness. It would not change the course of the disease could still prove a useful tool in the fight against the disease. â? It gives us an overview of brain structures in memory, a are involved? Professor Lozano said. â? It gives us an opportunity in the way we did not join in Parkinson? s, and affective disorders such as depression and possibly therapeutic benefit in people with memory problems.â? ?
The technique is being studied in six Alzheimer’s? s patients in an initial pilot study. Only three patients could afford to have the device surgically implanted. Rebecca Wood, Chief Executive of Alzheimer’s? S Research Trust, said they keep an eye on this research, it will be interesting to see whether this method offers an advantage, Alzheimer? S.
Although accidental, this â? discoveryâ? was much appreciated and the research is already underway to confirm its use for Alzheimer’s? Population expected to double between the baby boomers. He was an outstanding success in fighting the ongoing battle against the disease and we look forward to its effectiveness in our beloved relatives.
