Tweaking the brain's immune system with a drug has prevented mice developing dementia, a study shows.
Dementia 'halted in mice brains' - BBC News

The team at Duke University, in the US, showed immune cells which start attacking nutrients in the brain may be a trigger for the disease.
They say their findings could open up new avenues of research for a field that has not developed a single drug to slow the progression of the disease.
Experts said the findings offered new hope of a treatment.

The last time I had a mouse in the house...
he didn't seem too concerned about my "supposedly" superior brain.

On the serious side, I have a friend who has Dementia, he repeats himself and he forgets things, I have prayed for him.
