Memory decline starts earlier than you think, new research suggests

Memory loss is usually thought of as something to address as a person ages. Slip-ups like forgetting someone's name or recognizing a familiar face but not remembering where you know them from are often viewed as issues that arise later in life. New research by a team at Binghamton University reveals why memory shifts as we age—and that shift happens earlier in life than most people think, potentially in middle age.
