One of the first symptoms of an Alzheimer’s patient is short-term memory loss. Some research stated that it is possible in the early stages of Alzheimer’s to recover lost memories, stimulating specific hippocampal neurons, the area of the brain responsible for recording short-term memories. For this reason, people with Alzheimer need cognitive stimulation exercises that stimulate memories, language, perceptions, reasoning, creativity, sociability and above all well-being.
