Keeping brain sharp may ward off Alzheimer's protein - baltimoresun.com

Keeping brain sharp may ward off Alzheimer's protein - baltimoresun.com: People who challenge their brains throughout their lifetimes -- through reading, writing and playing games -- are less likely to develop protein deposits in the brain linked with Alzheimer's, U.S. researchers said on Monday.
