		<description><![CDATA[Landmark results from neuroscience research are debunking yet another myth about aging &#8211; that the brain continually loses cells and naturally dims with age.
On the contrary, recent studies show that if we continue to challenge our minds and stimulate our creativity, we not only feel better, we also cause our brains to sprout new branches, [...]]]></description>

Young adults with a genetic variant that increases their chance of developing Alzheimer’s later in life also have increased activity in the section of their brain devoted to memory, a new study has found. Researchers say the results suggest that the memory portion of the brain, the hippocampus, may eventually get worn out from a lifetime [...]]]></description>
