Mount Sinai School of Medicine researchers have developed a biosynthetic polyphenol that improves cognitive function in mice with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Polyphenols occur naturally in grapes and other foods, and have been shown to prevent the cognitive decline associated with AD in mice. This is the first study to determine which specific subfraction of these molecules penetrates the animal brain, and demonstrate that a drug compound similar to polyphenols can exert similar influence. ...
