The McKnight Brain Research Foundation today released findings from a new survey showing one-third of Americans feel uninformed about normal brain aging. In addition, 87% of Americans are concerned about experiencing age-related memory loss and a decline in brain function as they grow older. To educate the public about normal brain aging, also known as cognitive aging, the MBRF is launching a new campaign, Brain Works – Optimize Your Brain Span.
