Researchers at the University of California Los Angeles have found that the HIV drug maraviroc may restore a specific kind of memory loss, according to National Public Radio. Relational memory — the ability to link events with the people we saw there — declines with age and may be severely compromised in people with Alzheimer's disease. The drug restored relational memory in mice, and researchers are optimistic about future use with aging people and stroke patients.
