Feb. 23, 2005 -- New clues about Alzheimer's disease have emerged from a Spanish study of marijuana. The drug's active ingredients -- cannabinoids -- help prevent brain problems seen in Alzheimer's, say the scientists.
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, which progressively damages brain areas involved in memory, judgment, language, and behavior. Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of mental decline, or dementia, in older adults. The new study didn't test cannabinoids on people living with Alzheimer's disease. Instead, the researchers focused on human brain tissue samples and conducted cannabinoid experiments on rats.
