Researchers from some of England's top universities are preparing to begin testing on a device that they believe will provide never before dreamed-of relief to sufferers of Alzheimer's Disease.

Based on studies of mice brains exposed to a certain wavelength of light, their own creation, the 'cognitive helmet', may be able to stimulate human brain cells to regrow.

This breakthrough device, which would beam infrared light directly into a patient's brain, could go beyond the scope of merely slowing the decay of a person's mind. If the same effect actually works in humans, the helmet has the potential to reverse the damage, to some extent.
