In the last 20 years, we have come to understand a great deal about cell death. It is a major research field, and one that is...

2 Weeks to a Younger Brain: An Innovative Program for a Better Memory and Sharper Mind
ISBN: 9781630060572 / Angielski / Miękka / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Misplacing your keys, forgetting someone's name at a party, or coming home from the market without the most important item -- these are just some of the many common memory slips we all experience from time to time. But such cognitive lapses don't just plague middle-agers and seniors; UCLA studies indicate that forgetfulness begins much earlier in life. Scientists can detect subtle changes in the brain that coincide with mental decline by the time we reach age 40, and our findings show that people as young as 20 already have memory problems. Dr. Gary Small and Gigi Vorgan's 2 Weeks To A...
