Default Thanks, Ron!

As we age it is normal to wane in cognitive skills. But what about when a neurodegenerative disorder removes you from the workforce, or isolates us due to lack of mobility?

I have been doing a presentation called "Brainiac." It consists of a battery of "tests" and games or activities to help improve executive function tasks. This study that you cited will go right along with that.

If anyone reading this has any studies showing interventions to delay the risks of dementia or Alzheimer's, I would love to have them.

I have yet to find conclusive studies that say "Use your brain or lose it," although it makes perfect sense.
