Thomas Kraynak’s article on brain aging has been published to the Pittsburgh Post Gazette.
I wish I could have scanned my Grandma Kraynak’s brain before she died. Most people in their seventies and beyond tend to experience memory and other cognitive problems, or even develop dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. But not my Grandma Kraynak. She was mentally quick all the way up to her rather sudden death at age 98. Even in her final years, she could regularly outwit us younger folk in any argument.
