DESCRIPTION:Véronique Bohbot (The Douglas Research Centre) and Oliver Hardt
  (Dept. of Psychology)\n\nProfessor Véronique Bohbot will start this prese
 ntation highlighting the therapy of spatial memory training and its effect
  on Alzheimer's disease. A larger hippocampus has been associated with hea
 lthy cognition in normal aging and with a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s dise
 ase. Older adults with better hippocampus-dependent spatial memory showed 
 increased fMRI activity\, increased grey matter in the hippocampus\, and b
 etter overall cognition\, regardless of ApoE4 status. Therefore\, spatial 
 memory training may provide a therapeutic avenue which may be protective a
 gainst Alzheimer’s disease.\n\nProfessor Oliver Hardt will focus on how an
 d why the brain forgets. Forgetting is thought of as a failure of memory\,
  a glitch\, something that should not occur\, resulting from a breakdown o
 f normal memory — and\, quite naturally\, most people worry about it. Howe
 ver\, recently it has been discovered that most forgetting is by design an
 d the result of dedicated forgetting processes that are part of normal bra
 in function. Forgetting is therefore not a failure of memory\, but a neces
 sary and useful function of memory. He will summarize the latest research 
 on how and why the brain forgets\, the benefits of forgetting\, and how di
 sorders of forgetting might lead to excessive memory loss\, as seen in Alz
 heimer's disease and other conditions.\n\nWatch the recording of this pres

 Exciting presentations by some of ºÃÉ«TVl's leading neuroscientists about t
 he brain\, the mind and the neuroscience of living as we now understand it
 . Find out how the brain and memory changes as we age\, or how the bilingu
 al brain functions\, and how remarkably emotional our brains are.\n\nAll t
