Free seminar on aging memories

"Am I losing my mind?" is the topic of a special presentation by the Texas Cooperative Extension office Friday, June 15, 10 a.m. to noon at First National Bank community room in Jasper.

If your brain can take in this new information and process it, you need to RSVP by June 14 by calling 384-3721 because seating is limited for this free program.

Actually, this program on gerontology (study of aging) explains "there are several different ways to learn new things and (you) may be surprised at how you yourself learn new information," according to the Texas A&M announcement.

"Many people believe that memory loss and aging go hand-in-hand: as a person gets older his or her memory begins to fail. Not true. Medical conditions, medications, diet and exercise, among other things, may all play a role in how your memory works," according to Andrew Crocker, an extension program specialist who will present the program.
