It is
well known that one of the signs of a person started to be called elderly are
entering a period of decline in the ability to remember. Grocery list, home address, or
phone number that used to be memorized by rote now must be noted carefully -
until you forget where you put the note just now. The more 'his old' our brain
makes memories begin difficult reopened old memories new and more difficult to
store properly.
Some parts of the brain associated with memory duties - the prefrontal cortex to remember things long and hippocampus for new things you want to remember - will lose approximately 20 percent of nerve cells as we age. Dementia, or reduced cognitive functions and behavioral physiological consequences of things, eventually becoming a popular disease in old age and become 'gateway' for other degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Indeed, until recently not much we can do to delay the physical aging, but some negative effects, such as memory loss, can be minimized by maintaining mental health. Consider the following studies that found an association of mental health and memory function.
Yahoo! News reported the findings of Robert Wilson of Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, regarding the impact of stress on the ability to remember and Alzheimer's disease. He analyzed data in 1256 older people not previously known to have memory problems. Twelve years later, 482 of whom were found to have moderate cognitive disabilities (mild cognitive impairment), which reduced the ability to remember the symptoms more severe than that caused by the normal aging process. After further investigation, it turns out they are more prone to anxiety, worry, stress, and depression during their lifetime likely 40 times more likely to have these defects.
Wilson's research complements previous studies that found an association between susceptibility to stress the possibility of having Alzheimer's disease. Indeed, not all people with cognitive disabilities was then suffering from Alzheimer's - 'only' 10-15 percent, according to the Alzheimer's Society-but Wilson argues that people who have more susceptibility to stress has been demonstrated that the brain changes associated with early symptoms of Alzheimer's. He added that recent research shows that chronic stress can damage the nature of the brain responsible for responding to stress. Part of the brain it also has tasks related to memory, so that the damage caused by continual stress is then also affect one's memory.
