So a new study has revealed that sending weak electrical currents to the brain can improve

older adults' memories.

Research is in the early stages, but results showed the boost lasted about a month.

And there's no serious side effects.

Now scientists hope that the tech in one day helped people at risk of dementia and

Alzheimer's disease.

So they put a cap embedded with electrodes that deliver small, electric zaps.

With that, I guess you're supposed to remember things better.

According to a neurologist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota who was not involved

in the research.

Said the findings are quite remarkable.

People begin to live longer.

The approach would become important for the tool to protect or even enhance memory in

older adults.

Now according to this study, they found that the memory performance improved by approximately

50 to 65% in participants who received the four-day intervention.

I mean, I don't know if you have to spend, you know, the entire four days getting zapped.

Or if they break it up, I'm not sure.

They...

Oh, here we go.

Okay, so it's only done for 20 minutes.

So that's no problem.
