- Alzheimer's disease primarily causes memory loss due to changes in the cholinergic system, with current treatments being only symptomatic and having side effects.
- This study investigates the effects of an aqueous extract on memory impairment induced by Scopolamine in mice, using various behavioral tests and measuring brain enzyme activities.
- Results show that the aqueous extract improves memory and reduces oxidative stress by lowering acetylcholinesterase activity, suggesting its potential as a new therapy for Alzheimer's-related memory issues.*
