 The text discusses the use of low-voltage electrical charges to deliver medication directly to the brain. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine conducted a study in which six Alzheimer's patients were implanted with devices that delivered low-voltage electrical charges to their brains. The study found that the treatment slowed down cognitive decline and improved memory function. The researchers believe that this approach could be an alternative or complementary treatment to existing medications for Alzheimer's disease.
