PHOTO: Obama Signals What Inspires Bo On Easter

First dog Bo Obama takes his inspiration from the Easter Bunny, according (https://twitter NULL.com/#!/) to President Barack Obama’s campaign.

Below, a tweet (https://twitter NULL.com/#!/BarackObama/status/189014576916987904/photo/1) from @barackobama on Sunday and a picture of Bo included in the message.

It’s not the first time Bo has been captured on camera (http://www NULL.huffingtonpost NULL.com/2012/03/01/white-house-easter-egg-roll-bo-obama-bunny-ears_n_1313088 NULL.html) wearing bunny ears. The Portuguese Water Dog appeared (http://www NULL.huffingtonpost NULL.com/2012/03/01/white-house-easter-egg-roll-bo-obama-bunny-ears_n_1313088 NULL.html) in a video released by the White House last month promoting the annual Easter Egg Roll.

Below, more details on the event via the White House website (http://www NULL.whitehouse NULL.gov/eastereggroll):

On Monday April 9, 2012, the First Family will host the 134th annual White House Easter Egg Roll. This year’s theme is “Let’s Go, Let’s Play, Let’s Move” and more than 35,000 people will be joining us on the South Lawn for games, stories, and, of course, the traditional egg roll on the Lawn.

Is It Alzheimer’s Or Absent-Mindedness? 12 Ways To Tell

It’s said that with age comes wisdom, but according to a study out of the Yale School of Medicine, the wisdom to handle multiple tasks can get muddled with age.

“The aged brain seems to get lost in transition,” said Mark Laubach (http://medicalxpress NULL.com/news/2012-03-aging-brain-stuck NULL.html), the senior author of the study that appeared in last week’s issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.

Using rats, Laubach’s team studied the impact of age on the memory used for handling daily tasks — the kind of memory that lets you remember that tonight’s roast is cooking in the oven while you go reply to an email. The team discovered that the prefrontal cortex of older rats — the region that rats and humans use to handle working memory — reacted at a slower pace to signals that a reward was available. The younger rats on the other hand, reacted nearly immediately.

For humans, delays in the prefrontal cortex can take the form of memory lapses which affect many on a daily basis. Things like forgetting to pick up the milk after grocery shopping is fairly commonplace, but forgetting that you went to the grocery store in the first place can be a signal that you may need to see your doctor.

Baycrest, a long-term senior care institution, provided The Huffington Post Canada with a list that signals the difference between normal and abnormal memory lapses. Do you ever worry about your memory? Let us know in the comment section below or share with us on Twitter @HuffPostCaLiv.
