Micro-needle insertion into hippocampus helps brain regeneration in animal model of Alzheimer's disease

Researchers testing the potential positive effects of “micro-injury” by brief insertion of a small needle into the hippocampal region of mice modeled with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have found that the procedure not only stimulated the hippocampus into regenerative activity, but also reduced β-amyloid plaques, a hallmark of AD.
