Conscious awareness and the enduring quality of our lives depend on cognitive functions that are based on the acquisition, retention, and use of knowledge.  However, forgetting is ubiquitous and aging is inevitable. With increasing life expectancy, is age-associated memory impairment looming for most of us?  Steven de Belle, PhD will talk about memory genes and strategies for improving and keeping your memory.
