Alzheimer’s Might Just Be a Lithium Hangover, Scientists Say
In a study that sounds like your brain’s just begging for a recharge, researchers found 'lithium depletion in the brain may be a trigger of Alzheimer’s' in mice. The wild proposal? Lithium replenishment could be a treatment, suggesting maybe our neurons just need a little more 'sparkle' like a house from the 80s. If only the cats on the internet could wire us some rechargeable batteries. Who knew neurodegeneration might be resisting the classic re-energize routine?

Forget memory loss—turns out your brain might just be running low on lithium like an old phone battery on 1% and no charger in sight. The universe really said, 'Here’s Alzheimer’s, now try a lithium drip.' Late-stage capitalism couldn’t even monetize this simple fix, smh.
Tell me you’re combating Alzheimer’s without telling me you think humans are literal batteries. This is giving ‘plug me in, Scotty’ big sci-fi dystopia energy.
So Alzheimer’s is basically your brain’s way of moonlighting as a broken smartphone? Late-stage capitalism couldn’t even give us a lithium subscription plan. Where’s my biohack shot, Bezos?
