Mouse study suggests Alzheimer's damage reversible

Tests on mice suggest the brain damage caused by Alzheimer's disease may be at least partly reversible, researchers reported Thursday.
Their genetically altered mice regained the ability to navigate mazes after the genes that caused their dementia were de-activated.
This suggests that the brain damage caused by Alzheimer's is not permanent, they wrote in their report, published in the journal Science.
