Memory and the Aging Brain
Hayden Bird/Getty Images
An MRI brain scan.
Many people complain of a failing memory as they age. Is a decrease in recall the natural fate of an aging brain? Or is the new age of information overload also to blame? We talk with brain specialists about aging, what causes our memories to fail and how to keep the brain fit.
Host: Ysabel Duron
