HealthBeat Alzheimers

Dr. Doug Scharre, left, administers neurological cognitive tests to Kathleen Sanford Monday, Dec. 17, 2012, in Columbus, Ohio. Sanford is an Alzheimer's patient that has a deep brain stimulation implant as part of a study at Ohio State University.

The tiny wires send mild jolts of electricity to stimulate the brain.
