OT: AD stuff... Sounds like there may well be a "Use it of Lose it" factor in this disease. Very small study (24 volunteers) but seems to merit some research. Whole story at: healthzone.ca Back to sleep, back to school January 15, 2010 The You Docs The best way to keep your mind sharp might be to go back to kindergarten. When older adults joined kindergarten through Grade 3 classrooms – to help out, of course – the kids achieved more. And the grown-ups shored up parts of their brains in ways that could protect them from Alzheimer's disease. Numerous studies have found that staying physically active, socially connected or mentally stimulated help keep aging brains sharp. But this research put all those things together for the 24 women (age 60 or older) it placed in elementary-school classrooms in Baltimore, Md. The women volunteered for 15 hours a week. After six months, researchers scanned their brains to find that the volunteers had increased activity in the parts (prefrontal cortex) that often decline with age (and take the ability to focus along with it). Those changes weren't seen in a group of similar women who didn't volunteer. Being among other people also helps give meaning and purpose to life, which benefits your mood as well as your memory. Another bonus: Being in a room full of kids gives you no choice but to be physically active.
