When 10 dolphins died off the coast of Florida, their brains were sent to a research institute in Jackson, Wyoming, for study.

What could that accomplish? A cure for Alzheimer's disease, potentially.

Researchers at Brain Chemistry Labs, a state-of-the-art biology laboratory in Jackson, contributed to a new study published in Nature Communications Biology .

The study found a link between Alzheimer's disease, cyanobacterial blooms, and the brains of dolphins. Basically, colonies of blue-green algae full of toxins.

"These dolphins show all the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease," said Paul Alan Cox, executive director of Brain Chemistry Labs and one of the contributing authors. "I think the data are pretty persuasive that we've got an Alzheimer's-type disease, caused by cyanobacter
