Brain training could prevent you developing dementia

Radio 4 in Four

Available for over a year

Every three minutes somebody in the UK develops dementia, so when it's claimed that tailored computer brain training can reduce cases of dementia and cognitive decline by a third over a decade, people sit up and take notice. The research hasn't yet been published - so isn't peer-reviewed - but Dr Doug Brown, Director of R&D at the UK's Alzheimer's Society speaks to Dr Mark Porter and says there's widespread excitement about the potential of brain training to protect against dementia. First broadcast on Inside Health, 27 July 2016.
