memory loss

The Intergenerational Center for Arts and Wellness provides a safe and caring environment for up to 1,000 seniors living with dementia each month. Through collaborations with 21 nonprofit partner organizations, coordinators help facilitate meaningful connections between the young and the young at heart.

A team at Stanford University has reversed memory loss in old mice by flooding their brains with spinal fluid taken from young animals. The finding may hold promise for Alzheimer's research.

Scientists are gaining insights into why Alzheimer's is more common in women. The answer involves genetics, hormones and sex-related brain differences.

As people get older, brain waves that occur during deep sleep become less synchronized. This appears to disrupt a system that saves new memories.
