Memory Loss Reversal Using Mathematical Models To Supplement Training And Drugs
Scientists Reverse Memory Loss In Animal Brain Cells. Science Daily. April 17, 2013.
The study recounted here used sea snail nerves. A mathematical model was used to determine when the cells were primed for learning. Training sessions were mimicked using a chemical administered to the cell at those points. Neuron connections recovered from the memory loss.

Memory Decline May Be Linked with Sleep Quality and Aging
Lighter Sleep May Dull Memory Skills In Seniors by Randy Dotinga. US News Health. January 27, 2013.
Study Links Aging In Brain To Sleep-Related Memory Decline by Benedict Carey. The New York Times. January 27, 2013.
While the study size is small and limited in sample diversity, it does appear to link less quality deep sleep in older adults and the ability to remember, in the study case, pairs of words. The prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that helps with quality sleep, declines in volume with age perhaps contributing to loss of quality sleep

An Aging Brain and Blood Pressure
Memory Alert: Even Slightly High Blood Pressure May Age Your Brain--And Even If You're Under 40. Forbes November 6, 2012.
University of California at Davis researchers have found that any blood pressure over 120/80 may be aging the brain with risks for memory problems and Alzheimer's. The risk even extends to young people. Regular blood pressure checks are recommend no matter the age. Also The American Heart Association recommends eating less salt.
