> Seriously is there a reason you're concerned with Alzheimer's?
Always. I tend to be attracted to the phenomenology of CNS disorders.
Here, I use Alzheimers as an example of a brain disorder for which inflammation has been observed, and the efficacy of doxycyline documented. Furthermore, the symptoms that were reduced included depression and behavioral aberations.
> They do have new meds requip and others for Alzheimers.
Hmm. I didn't know Requip was therapeutic in Alzheimers.
> I think no sure there is also a test for Alzheimer's gene or something like that.
Depression, too. Linkage studies point the finger at a number of different chromosomes.
> I'd think periodic MRI's of brain would at least show normal aging of brain.
You lost me on this one.
