Figure 1 Restoration of the dendritic spine. Dendrites damaged as a result of Alzheimer’s disease would result in abnormal neurotransmission because the receptors are not located in the right site as a result of the effect of neurodegeneration. The repair process is shown, beginning with omega-3 to allow repair of membranes and thus locate the receptors in the right places for effective neurotransmission. Serotonergic neurons would help in the formation of circuits due to the use of serotonin reuptake. Resveratrol and Ginkgo biloba serve as antioxidants and in the process of memory, respectively. Folic acid maintains the integrity of the newly repaired circuits.
