These are the findings of a study published in Nature Neuroscience earlier this month.‎ Researchers working on the study found that the age-related damage to working memory can be repaired.

Transcranial alternating current stimulation or tACS, is the means of sending electrical charges into the brain.

They were able to make small changes to the brainwave connections linked to their working memory.‎ Without brain stimulation, the older people were slower and less correct in their memories than the younger ones, This was because the younger people had higher levels of connections of certain brain wave rhythms.‎ Robert Reinhart, a researcher at Boston University, said that when older adults received active brain stimulation, they improved their working-memory test scores to the levels of the younger people. The effect lasted for at least 50 minutes after the stimulation was given.‎ ‎32. How can the device help the old people?‎ A. It can record what has happened for them.‎ B. It can stimulate the brain and make it active.‎ C. It can turn an old person into a twenty-something,‎ D. It can delay the brain for a short while.‎ ‎33. What did the researchers do using the equipment?‎ ‎ A. They repaired some age-related memory damage.‎ B. They found the brain made up of two vital parts.‎ C. They had 200 volunteers join in their research.‎ D. They kept track of two groups of people.‎ ‎34. EEG is different from tACS because .‎ A. EEG is a method to give motivation to brain B EEG can change the brainwave connections C. tACS can send electrical charges to the brain D. tACS is a means to help see how the brain runs ‎35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?‎ A. Electric Shocks May Help Older Peopled Memory B. As People Age, Their Memory Is Decreasing C. Plenty of Stimulation Can Make a Man Look Young D.
