Alzheimer's signs found in chimps for first time
In a first, signs of Alzheimer's disease have been found in 12 out of 20 chimpanzee brains studied over decades, US-based researchers reported. Researchers said the signs were more prominent in older chimps, like in humans, and their findings could help develop new drugs for the disease. However, the team couldn't ascertain whether the chimps had cognitive loss or not.
