Creating a Better Memory Bank: The Memory Game

by Sarah Nehru

Many people who have trouble remembering things jump to the conclusion that they have Alzheimer's, a disease which slowly saps the memory, eventually leading to severe confusion and disorientation. But epidemiological studies have shown that people between the ages of 65 and 75 have only a 2 percent chance of developing the disease. That means 98 out of 100 people who at age of 65 find themselves forgetting names and shopping lists, in fact, have normal, healthy brains.Neuroscientists now view learning and memory as a dynamic process that sculpts and re-sculpts the connections between nerve cells called neurons, in the brain. Every time a memory is laid down, some of these cells undergo molecular changes that either strengthen or weaken their connection with other neurons. When a person forgets something, it most likely means that some the connections have been weakened or broken. In a majority of cases, memory loss is a result of normal changes in the brain, as well as psychological changes that typically come with aging. The good news is that, for most people, there is ways of rejuvenating memory. Over here in this book, we'll show you some ways you can do so.Book Content Includes: Chapter 1
