Non-invasive ultrasound restores memory in Alzheimer’s mice

A potential method of treating Alzheimer’s disease using ultrasound is being hailed as a “breakthrough.”

A team of researchers at the University of Queensland’s Queensland Brain Institute Clem Jones Centre for Ageing Dementia Research have successfully restored memory function in mice using the drug-free, non-invasive technology to break down the neurotoxic amyloid plaques that cause memory loss and loss of cognitive function.
