<p>A method of screening pharmaceutical drugs, gene therapies, vaccines, dietary supplements, behavioral and environmental therapies and other clinical treatments for potential efficacy in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease in humans. The method includes selecting transgenic mice that are genetically altered for Alzheimer's disease and using measurement and/or imaging techniques to determine the activity level of the posterior cingulate region of the brains of the mice after treatment. Based on these measurements and comparisons to a control group, the effectiveness of the treatment in arresting or reversing Alzheimer's disease in mice can be determined, and the treatment can be identified as a promising candidate for human trials.</p> |
