Rochester\, MI 48307 Roche ster\, MI 48307 DESCRIPTION:

While phrases like 'senile' or 'demented' have been in our vocabularies for ages\, and have since been updated to 'age-related cognit ive decline\,' it isn't necessarily clear what these terms actually mean\, or what leads to this decline. As it turns out\, not all cases of cogniti ve decline are simply due to age!

\n

In this talk\, Dr. Jessica Matya s\, chair of the psychology department and associate professor of psycholo gy at Rochester University will look at case studies where specific brain damage had all the appearances of diseases associated with old age\, inclu ding Parkinsonism\, Alzheimer's disease\, and memory loss\, and will concl ude with some messages of hope regarding what we can do to prevent or dela y these conditions.
