Alzheimer's is linked to low brain lithium levels, study shows
A new study found that lithium naturally occurs in the brain and is crucial for normal function. A loss of lithium may be an early warning sign for Alzheimer’s disease as it binds to beta-amyloid plaques. In a mouse model, replenishing lithium levels reversed brain damage and restored memory function, offering a promising new avenue for both early detection and therapeutic intervention.
Lithium is a mineral that can be found in nature, with small amounts also found in the human body. Past research has also shown that lithium seems to have a neuroprotective effect on the brain. A new study shows that lithium occurs naturally in the brain and plays a major role in normal brain function.
