Brazilian researchers discovered the importance of a protein that reestablishes the electrical circuits in the brain, thus stopping the effects of the disease.
Scientists of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) are hoping that the achievement is the beginning of a treatment for the disease.

Researchers may have uncovered the critical missing piece that could lead to new treatments for Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. It’s an enzyme that plays a role in how the disease develops, but could also be harnessed to work against the tangled accumulation of proteins that eventually wreak havoc in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients.

Drugs used to treat acid reflux and ulcers don’t appear to boost the risk of dementia, as has been previously suspected, new research suggests.
The study focused on widely used proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) drugs — medicines such as Prevacid, Prilosec and Nexium. Previous studies have suggested the drugs may increase the risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease in people aged 75 and older.
