    Carol:

     

    I too think this is a fascinating study.  It seams really logical too. don't you think?  The part about how those with Alzheimer's getting stuck in the forgetting process. It does seem possible, with all the drugs we have to alter certain brain activities that one might be developed to aide in remembering or forgetting.  

     

    Thanks for this great post - others should join in with their thoughts too.  We encourage all to post their comments here or start a new thread with a new topic

     

    All the best, sue

    Thanks for the tip. Many things, from using our brains well to exceptional nutrition can help us retain our memory. Some people, unfortunately, whether from genetic predisposition or because of things we don't yet understand, will still get dementia. But doing everything we can to prevent it is always a good thing.
