Summary:

A drug made to enhance memory appears to trigger a natural mechanism in the brain that fully reverses age-related memory loss, even after the drug itself has left the body, according to researchers at UC Irvine.

Commentary: Hopefully this drug will be effective in preventing cognitive decline and maintaining cognitive fuction in a diverse population of patients for extended periods of time.
