For older adults, playing video games can support cognitive function and memory.
It can also provide relief for symptoms of depression and stress.
And for those who have never played video games, it could be a way to learn something new- & spend time with a grandchild.

New neuroscience research upends traditional cognitive models of reading
A new study finds that the left posterior inferior frontal cortex activates within 100 milliseconds during reading, playing a critical, early role in turning text into speech, challenging traditional models that assumed a slower, step-by-step process.

Changes in memory do not necessarily mean Alzheimer’s disease. In Alzheimer’s disease, changes are typically larger- like forgetting the name of your grandchild or not knowing where to go even though you’ve been there many times. We may also see aggression or changes in personality.
