If anyone is aware of their memory problems,they do NOT have Alzheimer's.
1. forget the names of
families.
2. do not remember where I put some things.It often happens in people 60 years and older that they complain that they lack memory.
The information is always
in the brain, it is the "processor"
that is lacking.
This is Anosognosia, or temporary
forgetfulness.
Half of people 60 and
older have some symptoms that are due to age rather than disease.
The most common cases are:
- forgetting the name of a
person,
- going to a room in the
house and not remembering why we were going there,
- a blank memory for a movie title or actor, an actress,
- a waste of time
searching where we left our glasses or keys.
After 60 years most people have such a difficulty,
which indicates that it is not a disease
but rather a characteristic due to the passage of years.
Many people are concerned
about these oversights; hence the importance of the following statements:
1.Those who are conscious of being forgetful :
have no serious problem of memory.
2.Those who do suffer from a memory illness, or Alzheimer's,
are
not aware of what is happening.
Professor Bruno Dubois,
Director of IMMA, reassures the majority of people concerned about their
oversights:
The more we complain about memory loss, the less likely we are to suffer from memory sickness.
Now for a little
neurological test :
Only use your eyes !
1- Find the C in the table below!

2- If you found the C,
then find the 6 in the table below.

3- Now find the N in the
table below. Attention, it's a little more difficult!
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNMM

If you pass these three
tests without problem:
- you can cancel your annual visit to the neurologist.
- your brain is in perfect
shape!
- you are far from having any relationship with
Alzheimer's.
