Clotho Improves Working Memory in Monkeys

The study relied on a single type of cognitive task that doesn't capture all types of memory, such as procedural memory or the ability to recall how to do certain tasks. Despite their genetic similarities, Riesz-McKacks are obviously not humans. Since Clotho improved working memory in monkeys, DuBalle says that after confirming that the injections are safe, studies will need to evaluate whether they improve people's performance on standardized tests for executive function. These kinds of tests are typically used to assess patients with conditions like Alzheimer's disease.
