Now another study has found what happens to a person as aging brains internal clock decline. Read more in this report by Raf Ellen Bichell on NPR:

As Aging Brain’s Internal Clock Fades, A New Timekeeper May Kick In

A neuroscientist at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, McClung wanted to know what was going on in the brain that changes people’s daily rhythms as they age. Read more…

Brain diseases are really horrible. Doesn’t matter if you’re the one or a loved one have it, because it will break your heart in the worst possible ways. So this discovery about the aging brains internal clock will hopefully help solve the mystery phenomena behind dementia, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, and more.
