Dr. Keith Vossel, Professor of Neurology and Director of the UCLA Easton Center, published the highly anticipated results of a phase 2a randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of the anti-seizure medication levetiracetam for Alzheimer’s disease. This study was published in JAMA Neurology. The clinical trial showed that levetiracetam improves cognitive functions in Alzheimer’s patients with epileptic activity.
