Synopsis: “How To Exercise The Brain”

Do you find it difficult to remember things? Do you easily forget someone's name or often forget where you parked the car? Everyone loses their memory from time to time, it is a part of normal life.

People often want to know how to improve their memory, and one way to do this is by exercising your brain! The brain is similar to muscle- the more you use it, the stronger it gets. To improve your memory, you can focus on certain tasks to exercise the brain.

This talk will introduce the structures in the brain involved in memory and also briefly explain how the brain records the information. We'll see why people with Alzheimer's disease have a specific type of memory loss and how this impacts on their behaviour.

We will then discuss some practical ideas on how to get the most of your own memory.
