Associations were observed in all eight cognitive domains assessed but were strongest and most consistent in the domains of simple motor and psychomotor speed, eye-hand coordination/manual dexterity, and verbal memory and learning.” <br> <br>For more information, please visit: <br><a href="http://mp.medscape.com/cgi-bin1/DM/y/hnQA0KrDrK0D2L0GW3t0Eq " target="blank">mp.medscape.com/cgi-bin1/DM/y/hnQA0KrDrK0D2L0GW3t0Eq </a> <br></font></td> </tr> </table> </td></tr> </table> <script type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="<http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show
