Education & Alzheimer's
The more education people have the less likely they are develop Alzheimer's symptoms of dementia.
Morning Edition - June 26, 2003

Suggested by Beatriz, who listens to WCVE in Richmond, Va.:

"I was taking a course on classroom management the week of June 23. The first day we discussed brain function and development. The very next day, as I drove to class, there was a story regarding brain function, learning, and brain deterioration in old age. I sat in the parking lot listening to the story and was late to class. When I told the prof why I was late, she asked me to share what I'd heard with the class. The very next day, I sat in the car listening to a description of what is hip. When the prof pulled up next to me, she knocked on my window and asked me to turn off the radio and get to class on time."
