Study: Memory loss could be reversed

LONDON: Electrical brain stimulation using a non-invasive cap can help boost older people’s mental scores to those of people 20 to 30 years younger, according to a study published yesterday.

The research, published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, found that age-related decline in working memory can be reversed by stimulating two key brain areas at a specific rhythm.

Using electroencephalography, scientists were able to modulate the brainwave interactions of old and young people.
