Science for Society: Understanding and Mitigating Memory Decline
As we age, understanding the science behind memory decline and the ways we can address it becomes more important, not only for ourselves but for the aging family and friends in our lives. Four researchers shared the latest research on the ways that aging impacts memory in this webinar. Angelina Sutin, APS Fellow and professor in the College of Medicine at Florida State University, began the webinar with a description of dementia, an umbrella term that refers to the loss of memory and other thinking abilities severe enough to interfere with daily life. In the United States, nearly 7 million people live with Alzheimer’s disease, a form of dementia.
