A new study found that taking a daily prebiotic supplement can improve scores in memory tests used to detect early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. And to really control for genetic differences,… ...

Memory issues often increase with age, but there are ways to keep the brain active and sharp to help fight dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

A new study suggests moderate to vigorous physical activity can boost scores on memory tests. Adding to the evidence that daily exercise is good for the brain.

For four consecutive days, each participant received 20 minutes of stimulation and completed various memory tests that measured their long-term and working memory abilities.

Still, the tests are certainly practical for researchers. It is often complicated to clinically separate medical and behavioural conditions in senior dogs.

A study published last year found that seniors who enrolled in tai chi classes showed improved performance on memory tests.

Long-term dog ownership by individuals 65 or older seems to be associated with a reduction in the amount of observed age-related declines in cognitive abilities.

A Boston University study's early results show improved memory among senior citizens who received low-dose electrical pulses directed to the brain.

A new study of nearly 600 seniors has found that neither exercise nor mindfulness improved cognitive function.
