The results of a new study, conducted on animal models, show that a brain protein that occurs naturally in brain may slowdown or even stop Alzheimer’s.

The entorhinal cortex in brain that offers help to memory usually produces brain driven neurotrophic factor (Known as BDNF) in brain, but its production seems to reduce in the presence of Alzheimer’s disease.  The researchers injected this brain driven neuroptrophic factor in aged (with entorhinal cortex damage) or genetically engineered lab animals, and they noticed that the animals had a boosted cognitive and memory skills. The researchers also found that degeneration and death of the cells had either reversed or stopped.

Dr. Mark Tuszynski, the lead author of the study, says: “BDNF appeared to have some powerful effects. When BDNF was administered in memory circuits after stimulating their activity, it was noticed that it had prevented death of cell because of the disease.”

The physical resistance can support the Alzheimer’s patients. The quality of life of the Alzheimer and dementia patients can be improved by doing the physical activity, new research.

This research stressed on the needs for enhancing the awareness and telling about the significance of living a psychically healthy by doing the physical activity.

William Thies, the vice president of medication and scientific associations for the Alzheimer’s Association told in an interview, “The probable proofs show that physical activity does not have to be demanding or need a demanding time responsibility.”
