Medical Discovery News, May 16, 2009
Saturday's edition of Medical Discovery News, hosted by UTMB's Norbert Herzog and David Niesel, was about the deterioration of neurons and myelin as we age. "After age 40, even healthy people begin to lose some myelin in a part of the brain responsible for motor control. ... We can help to slow this process by staying mentally and physically active." Medical Discovery News airs at 10 a.m. Saturday on KUHF-FM in Houston. The program also airs on numerous radio stations across the country and in Mexico.
