The Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health has only been open for about 6 months. They're pursuing innovative means of treating degenerative brain disorders, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, which have historically left doctors dumbfounded. Among the therapies they are finding to be effective are music and art. Doctors say, while memory is lost with aging, creative qualities are left intact. Wednesday morning at 9, one of the Clinic's top brain doctors joins host Dan Moulthrop to talk about brain disorder treatments and ways to keep your brain healthy throughout life.
