A new study out of the University of Maryland School of Medicine investigates age-related memory loss, including not being able to remember personal interactions and new therapies. The researchers “identified a new mechanism in neurons that causes memories associated with these social interactions to decline with age. In addition, they were able to reverse this memory loss in the lab.” Their findings provide hope that new therapies could be discovered to reduce or eliminate age-related memory loss.
