Sleep can restore memories in forgetful fruit flies, new data show. This raises hope that some extra ZZZs might also help people with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory disorders.<br><br>For a series of new experiments, researchers altered the genes of fruit flies. This caused various types of memory problems in the bugs. But the flies could get their memories back. All they needed was some solid snooze time.<br><br>“Quite honestly, this is a stunning result,” says Paul Shaw. A coauthor of the study, he works at Washington University in St. Louis, Mo. “We take flies that are bad and we make them better,” he notes. His team published details of its work online April 23 in Current Biology.
