Fascinating brain facts
The brain is a wonderful, mysterious and fascinating organ. Here are a few interesting facts.

Memory problems not always dementia
More than one-fifth of Americans over age 70 have some memory impairment that isn't classified as dementia, a new study has found.

Brain size may influence memory
New research shows that people who have a larger part of the brain, called the hippocampus, may be protected from the effects of Alzheimer's-related brain changes.
