A groundbreaking study has revealed that a specific type of brain training can significantly lower the risk of developing Alzheimers and other forms of dementia. Published in the journal Alzheimers & Dementia, this 20-year research project found that older adults who engaged in 14 to 22 hours of targeted brain exercises experienced a 25% reduction in their risk of diagnosis. Dr. Michael Alosco from Boston Medical Center emphasized the importance of these findings during a recent interview.
