A new study in the journal Nature Neuroscience suggests that changes in the brain, which naturally occur over time, may interfere with sleep quality.  This, in turn, inhibits the brain’s ability to store long-term memories, the New York Times reported. Previous research found that the part of the brain behind the forehead – the prefrontal cortex – may lose volume as you age.  This part of the brain aids in sleep quality, which is crucial for blending new memories together. The research, conducted by the University of California, Berkeley, may answer the age-old question of why you lose memory as you age/FoxNews. More here.

Question: How good is your memory?
