The mysteries of the brain intrigue most of us. That 3 pound mass of grey matter with its 100 billion neurons protected by a relatively puny bony structure we call the skull, literally operates everything. The brain process we seem to be most affected by in our everyday life however is our memory. In fact people will often make comments about losing their memory. We worry about memory loss all the time, especially since dementia and particularly Alzheimer's disease has gotten so much attention. Memory, simply defined, is having the mental capacity or faculty to retain facts, events, impressions, etc., or of being able to recall previous experiences. In the following articles I discuss memory, how it works and how to improve it. The subject is both fascinating and complex. For the purposes of this month's Newsletter I will focus on only the most basic aspects of memory. I welcome your comments or questions about this topic or any other you might be interested in. You can email me at StanHyman@AventuraStressRelief.com. Please consider sharing this newsletter with friends or family that might be interested in the subject.
