Dr.

Newhouse is excited about nicotine's potential for Alzheimer's.

"This is the kind of work that makes my career and life and work seem meaningful," he says.

Harvey's not sure if he's on the real thing or a placebo, but either way, he says being in the study has already helped.

"I take extra precautions like writing down certain things that I have to do," he says.

"I feel good, yeah." And if he does forget something, Kay is right by his side to remind him.

Dr.

Newhouse says nicotine does not pose any safety concerns and is only addictive when it's combined with tobacco.

Nicotine patches may not be a practical treatment for long-term use, so drugs are being developed that mimic what it does in the brain.

The University of Vermont is one out of three centers studying nicotine.

The other two centers are Duke University and Georgetown University.
