As a result, it was found that the new drug can be effective in the treatment of dementia, according to preliminary data, the drug almost completely relieves the disease and improves the quality of human life.
Now the specialists have started the experimental stage of testing, and the drug is tested on laboratory animals.
After receiving preliminary results of the laboratory study, it will be decided to continue the further testing of the new drug. In addition, experts noted that the new drug is also capable of suppressing the increased activity of certain groups of nerve cells, thereby demonstrating the ability of the drug to regulate the activity of cells in the brain, improve cognitive abilities, in particular, thinking and concentration.
