'Sharp' older brains are not the same as younger brains

Researchers working with rats have found the first solid evidence that still "sharp" older brains store and encode memories differently than younger brains.

Should it prove to apply as well to human brains, it could lead eventually to the development of new preventive treatments...

Many companies are their own worst enemies when it comes to retaining young talent. Ive lost count of the number of managers Ive met that have given up on this task.

Stay young the Chinese way

Humans no longer have to fear of losing the battle against senility since a group of Chinese scientists announced recently that they have created a highly effective drug to retard the aging process.

Have sex and stay young

Quite a lot of what we fancy, apparently, does good, scientists have claimed. Couples who have sex at least four times a week look more than 10 years younger than the average adult who makes love twice a week, says consultant neuro-psychologist Dr David Weeks, who has made a 10-year study of the subject. "Pleasure derived from sex is a crucial factor in preserving youth. It makes u...
