While scientists search for a cure for Alzheimer's I think it's already here. At least I've got the canary in the coal mine. Billions are being spent around the world to find a cure for Alzheimer's. The current FDA approved drugs as a treatment include donepezil, tacrine, galantamine, rivastigmine and memantine. Who made up those names should work writing name child books for new parents. They have...

NIST scientists have built a model of the membrane that surrounds neurons in the brain, a tool which should help to discover the mechanisms behind Alzheimer's onset. The brain’s neurons transmit nerve impulses down a long stem that is surrounded by a two-layer membrane. In the neuron’s normal, “rest” state, this membrane actively sorts sodium ions to the outside of the cell and potassium ions to the...

He's said that there is such a thing as spiritual Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, and makes a not so subtle hint that the Anglicans suffer from it. Damian's report is here.
