#Brain #Implants That Don’t Leave #Scars
#Traumatic #braininjuries vary in severity from mild to #lifethreatening, but #neurologists have limited tools to assess the damage.

Many doctors -- #neurologists, #psychiatrists, you name it -- have been concerned about this for a long while. The man is cognitively impaired and has been for years. It's called the prodromal phase, and the #disease has been percolating. Anyone who knows anyone with #dementia knows he is ill. Okay #NYT, now's the time to have your opinion writers say why (or why not) Trump shouldn't be president.

#Trump on his 10-year old cartoon drawing of a woman's body w/a really creepy inscription in it: "I never wrote a picture." He's right, technically, no one writes a picture, you draw one. He's telling a truth but lying @ the same time.
The relation btw. his word-finding difficulties & whatever kind of #dementia he has is something else. I wonder if #neurologists have studied the effects of relentless lying on the #hippocampus. IOW, lying as a cause of dementia.
Last, I am profoundly aware of my lack of expertise in the incredibly complicated area of neurology. If anyone out there (#neurologists?) would like to correct me (especially on my reference to the tau hypothesis), I am all ears and always eager to learn more (and to make sure I'm not spreading misinformation). I should say that maybe the book will go more deeply into the amyloid v. tau hypotheses.

"Whenever Linde tells a joke a little too loudly, or has a dulled emotional response to a dramatic event, she worries: Is this tau? That anxious metronome never shuts off."
The kindness, brilliance, and empathy of the #neurologists at the #Dementia #Research centers mentioned in this article is literally life-sustaining. A special shout-out to #UCSF and especially my dear friend #Dr.BruceMiller, who founded the #MAC (#Memory and #Aging Center).

Question for all #neurologists out there: do #amnesiacs remember their own handwriting? Serious question.

"The 1 Ingredient a Neurologist Wants You to Add to Your Coffee to Boost Brain Health "
The one ingredient is leprechaun piss. This is it. They could have had a headline that says:
"Neurologist Wants You to Add Leprechaun Piss to Your Coffee to Boost Brain Health"
But no, they had to play the mystery card with their clickbait headline.
They won.
They won a ban.
Bravo!
(Actually, it's cinnamon, but that or leprechaun piss. 🤷 Especially given the fact that leprechaun piss tastes just like cinnamon.)

#Alzheimer's and #Brain Health Awareness Month is coming to an end. I spent the last two weeks in #France talking to #neurologists, #psychiatrists, #nurses, and #volunteers about #Dementia, #Grief, and #Narrative Medicine. So many people in France -- and around the world -- are working to understand #Alzheimer's, treat it, and help #caregivers. I also had the opportunity to go to Dax to the extraordinary, loving Village Landais Alzheimer. We need many more places like it: https://villagealzheimer.landes.fr/en/the-establishment

calling all #neurologists. If you have something to say about #Trump's semantic incoherence, now is the time. #psychologist Dr. John Gartner is leading the way.
@jeffjarvis. I canceled my #Post subscription after one too many bothsides articles. However, if you have a moment and a spare gift article, would you please post it? #Brain health, specifically #dementia, is a profoundly important issue to me (my father died of #early-onset #Alzheimer's). I post #ChaunceyDeVega's #Salon pieces, esp. those with #Dr.JohnGartner whenever he covers this issue and how #doctors and #neurologists are speaking out, sometimes. Thank you.
This is handy info from the experts. These 2 specialise in dementia including altzheimers disease. Dr's Dean and Ayesha Sherzai.

#Media, put 1.19 to 1.21 on blast. It's 2 seconds of #Trump trying to speak. He can't. Anyone who knows anyone with #dementia knows what's happening. Of course he has no idea what he's talking about re: #Gettysburg but that's a somewhat different issue (kind of life not knowing #FrederickDouglass died), although the repetition of words signals, I think, cognitive deterioration. Any #neurologists want to weigh in? A nation turns its lonely eyes to you.
In #100YearsOfSolitude, #GabrielGarciaMarquez wrote about "the quicksand of forgetfulness." I am grateful to his sons for making the hard to decision -- an "act of betrayal," as they put -- to publish his last work while he, too, had fallen into that quicksand. It is a gift to the world of readers, to #literary critics, and to #neurologists.
