Memory loss with age?

New research in the area of aging and memory loss has found that forgetting things like other people's names might not mean brainpower is declining but that "Instead, the research finds, the aging brain is simply taking in more data and trying to sift through a clutter of information, often to its long-term benefit."

Taking in more data and sifting through a clutter of information.

To the brain's long-term benefit.

Cool.  One excuse is as good as any other.
