Research led by Professor Takami Tomiyama of Osaka Metropolitan University has shown that administering dried seeds of the jujube plant can restore cognitive and motor function in model mice with various forms of dementia. The study suggests that traditional medicinal products, like the jujube seeds used in Chinese medicine, could offer preventive measures against neurodegenerative diseases. Previous research by the same team has shown similar positive effects with other natural herbs. The findings may lead to the development of dementia prevention products for middle-aged and elderly individuals. This research has been published in eLife as a reviewed preprint.
