Some interesting research being done in the UK shows that brain function can start declining "as early as age 45". Previous research had suggested that cognitive decline does not begin much before the age of 60.
These new findings indicate that the early changes in Alzheimer's could begin much earlier than we once thought. Take a look at the short video above!

Interestingly, this just came out in the New England:
Memory Enhancement and Deep-Brain Stimulation of the Entorhinal Area

and this in the NYTimes:
Path Is Found for the Spread of Alzheimer’s
