    There has been a fucking epidemic of MD/scientists running to the media with miracle cures lately.

    Mice to not get Alzheimers, they were engineered to show one aspect of the disease that has been promoted by fraudulent studies. As for the reversal, mouse brains are highly plastic and similar to a human baby, nothing like a >60 year old.
