11、ged form may be the cause of brain disorders including Alzheimer sDisease( 老 年 性 痴 呆 ). Researchers say they have developed a treatment that may cause the protein to return to its original form, preventing the disease from developing or reversing (彻 底 转 变 ) the effects of the damage in people who al
12、ready suffer from Alzheimer s. Researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center found that the shape of the protein is changed by severe injuries to the brain. The scientists say when people are hit on the head many times, they develop a condition called chronic traumatic encephalopathy or CTE (慢
13、性损伤性脑病). CTE develops in soldiers with head injuries. People who play football also suffer from CTE after being hit on the head many times. The memory, judgment and ability to function are affected in people with CTE. Alvaro Pascual- Leone is a brain scientist. He was one of the researchers who disc
14、overed the effect of brain injuries on the protein.“We know that the protein plays a key role in Alzheimer s Disease. And so it is possible that also there, in the absence of traumatic brain injuries, one might be able to protect the brain from the damage in the progression of the disease.” Research
15、ers hope to develop a blood test or use machines that can see into the brain to help them identify changed protein. Early identification of the problem in people with brain injury could help doctors treat them quickly and stop the protein from changing. Mr. Pascual- Leone and his colleagues reported
16、 that they had developed a treatment that returns the damaged protein to its original, undamaged form. He says it might be possible to use the treatment to stop the development of Alzheimer s Disease. And he suggests it could also slow the loss of brain function in people who already have the disease and it would bring good news to patients. 1. What s the best title for the passage? A.
