Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of treating the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease by the intranasal administration of a therapeutically effective amount of specific short chain peptides, in particular peptide T, to patients. Intranasal administration of the defined short chain peptides promotes neuronal survival for reducing or halting the progressive neuronal degeneration which occurs in Alzheimer's disease.
