Irish scientists pioneer memory loss research

GROUND breaking Irish research into memory loss is gripping one of the world’s largest medical trade fairs this week in Chicago.

A research team led by Jonathan McNulty of University College Dublin and Dr Richard Roche from NUI Maynooth have discovered scientific proof to show that mental exercise improves brain function.

Mr McNulty explained that by using x-ray imaging and MRI scanners, the researchers have taken the examination of memory loss to a different level.
