The objective of this study around Alzheimer’s disease was to enhance oscillations in laying down memory traces and cognition. Using mice, the human APOE 4 gene was inserted into them, so they replicated similar events that take place in Alzheimer’s patients, and other mice were treated with DDL-920. The hope is to move on to human patients and to have a big impact on improving Alzheimer’s patient's life, cognition, and memory.
