Study reveals the possibility of curbing synapse loss in Alzheimer's:

Dementia Big
Researchers at Boston Children’s Hospital show how brain connections, or synapses, are lost early in Alzheimer’s disease and demonstrate that the process starts—and could potentially be halted—before telltale plaques accumulate in the brain. Their work, published online by Science on March 31, suggests new therapeutic targets to preserve cognitive function early in Alzheimer’s disease.
