Acupuncture Improves Cognitive Deficits and Increases Neuron Density of the Hippocampus in Middle-Aged Samp8 Mice

Abstract

Acupuncture improved the cognitive impairment of middle-aged SAMP8 mice which could be attributed to the reduced neuron loss in hippocampal regions CA3 and DG. These results suggest that reducing neuron loss in the hippocampus by acupuncture is a potential therapeutic approach for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive impairment diseases.
