Zapping the brain REVERSES age-related memory loss in older people

Zapping older people's brains could sharpen their memories to be as good as those of people decades younger. Scientists found stimulating a certain part of the brain boosted the memory of over-64s who had normal age-related memory loss. It worked so well the researchers saw no difference in the test results of volunteers who'd had the therapy and younger, healthier adults. The findings are the latest in a long line of medical trials to delve into the benefits of electrical stimulation on the brain. Just two weeks ago a similar study found zapping the brains of over-60s can restore their memory power to that of people in their twenties.
