🧠⚡ BREAKTHROUGH: Lithium Deficiency Linked to Alzheimer’s New research published in @nature reveals that naturally occurring lithium levels are significantly reduced in people with mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer’s disease. The study shows that lithium becomes depleted by binding to toxic amyloid plaques, potentially explaining how the disease begins. Most exciting? In mouse trials, researchers successfully reversed the disease and prevented brain aging using new lithium-based compounds 🐭✨ This could represent an entirely new approach to understanding and treating Alzheimer’s — one that focuses on protecting the brain’s natural lithium rather than just targeting plaques and tangles.
