Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory

What's Normal, What's Not, and What to Do About It

By: Andrew E. Budson MD,Maureen K. O'Connor Psy.D

As you age, you may find yourself worrying about your memory. Where did I put those car keys? What time was my appointment? What was her name again? With more than 41 million Americans over the age of 65 in the United States, the question becomes how much (or, perhaps, what type) of memory loss is to be expected as one gets older and what should trigger a visit to the doctor. Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory addresses these key concerns and more, such as... · What are the signs that suggest your memory problems are more than just part of normal aging? · Is it normal to have concerns about your memory? · What are the markers of mild cognitive impairment, dementia, Alzheimer's, and other neurodegenerative diseases? · How should you convey your memory concerns to your doctor? · What can your doctor do to evaluate your memory? · Which healthcare professional(s) should you see? · What medicines, alternative therapies, diets, and exercises are available to improve your memory? · Can crossword puzzles, computer brain-training games, memory aids, and strategies help strengthen your memory? · What other resources are available when dealing with memory loss? Seven Steps to Managing Your Memory is written in an easy-to-read yet comprehensive style, featuring clinical vignettes and character-based stories that provide real-life examples of how to successfully manage age-related memory loss.

Why We Forget and How to Remember Better

The Science Behind Memory

By: Andrew E. Budson,Elizabeth A. Kensinger

One of us (Elizabeth) had the opportunity to conduct research with a gentleman named Henry Molaison (better known by his initials, H.M.1), who had the interior portion of his left and right temporal lobes (the part of your brain next to your temples) removed in 1953 because of epileptic seizures that were difficult to control. From a technical standpoint, the surgical procedures went fine. But, as he recovered, the doctors and researchers soon noticed something very troubling: he was unable to form any new memories. He could read, and talk, and if you were having a brief conversation with him, you would probably not notice anything amiss. But family members would visit and, although he knew who they were, he would have no memory of them coming. New doctors would introduce themselves and the next day (or even the next hour) he did not recall that he had met them. It was then that the doctors understood that, somehow, the removal of those parts of the temporal lobe caused him to become completely amnestic"--

Seven Steps to Managing Your Aging Memory

What's Normal, What's Not, and What to Do about It

By: Andrew E. Budson,Maureen O'Connor

Is your memory normal? To answer that question we need to start with a different question: What is normal memory? In Step 1 we will learn about the problems that are part of normal memory. One thing that makes memory loss tricky, however, is that the difference between normal and abnormal memory isn't necessarily the type of problems that occur but rather the frequency and severity of those problems. Nonetheless, in order for us to begin to help you know if your memory is normal or not, we need to first tell you about the memory errors that can happen to anyone of any age and then let you know what changes occur to memory as we get older"--
