Scientists restore memory by blocking a single Alzheimer's protein

4. There are plenty of us in the same boat as you....

My thing is remembering names. I've always had that problem, even as a young adult. It's frustrating. The brain is a funny thing; I remember inocuous BS from decades ago, yet can't remember what I did 2 days ago.

But I don't think you're being flippant. It's an important topic for those of us who are aging. Physical and mental decline are problematic. I recall playing golf with work colleagues a few years ago. One of the foursome wasn't a regular. After the round, we all hit the restraurant for lunch, and I pulled out my reading glasses to look over the menu. He commented "You need glasses to read this???
I just looked at him and said "Your day is coming, buddy. I just hope you remember what you said to me today".

If all I lose is my ability to read requiring glasses, then I'm ahead of the game.
