Women's Brains Sharper Than Men's In Old Age- New Study
Women's brains age better than men’s but their bodies do not
cope as well, research suggests. Even though female life expectancy has
increased over the past 20 years, elderly women spend less time with memory
problems than they did, a study shows.
The unexpected finding goes against most predictions, which
would expect rates of dementia to increase as people live for longer. The same
trend, however, was not seen among men, whose total time spent in a state of
‘mild cognitive impairment’ increased slightly.
Last night experts said they could not definitively explain
their findings but they suspect that the vast improvements in education for
women may be behind the trend.

This Boy Went To Bed One Night & Woke Up Unable To Speak
Imagine if your healthy 16-month-old son went to sleep one
night and woke the next day unable to speak. That’s just what happened to
youngster, Ross Griffiths - he spent the next three-and-a-half years trying to
claw back his communication skills.
He’s just been diagnosed with a genetic condition so
unusual, it doesn’t even have a “proper” name. Instead it’s called 15q11.2.
But on Saturday, mum Becky Lane and dad Craig Griffiths hope
he’ll forget his communication problems with a visit to the Santa who does sign
language.
