Electronic implant can reverse the effects of Alzheimer's disease and short-term memory loss. Will this help someone you know?

Scientists have developed an electronic implant to help brains damaged by Alzheimer’s retain memories. They hope it will be used to take over certain areas of diseased brains to help “translate” a short-term memory into a permanent one. The implant has been developed at the University of Southern California and Wake Forest Baptist Medical Centre over a decade.
The project is funded by the US military as a way of helping injured soldiers overcome memory loss.
