No matter your age, it's very frustrating to misplace your keys. But when older adults can't find the house, well, that's a more severe form of memory loss. Memory loss may be a natural part of aging but researchers are discovering new strategies to maintain a healthy memory and brain function as we age.
One new approach is developing in Cleveland. It's The Brain Emporium and offers seniors a special lab with activities specifically geared to improve retention while promoting social interaction. Researchers say both are vital to strengthing memory.
