Science. A new study that went deep into ancient Greek and Roman medical texts suggests that dementia was rare 2,000 to 2,500 years ago. HealthDay notes the analysis builds on the theory that modern cognitive decline is linked to lifestyle and environmental factors. The findings, published in Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, say that records from ancient Greek physician Hippocrates and his cohorts contained only a few descriptions of mild cognitive impairment in older people.

The human brain is an amazing organ, but its function has not always been well understood or appreciated. Ancient Egyptians believed it to be the equivalent of packing material, something like organic bubble wrap. In the process of mummification, other organs were carefully excised, preserved, and stored in special jars while the brain was extracted through the nose and tossed!
