Notes

"Scientists talk about Alzheimer's like detectives solving a crime - but it isn't like that for families. As a child, I viewed my grandfather's illness as something to fear and something to accept. Now I understand how innocent that thinking was... In Pursuit of Memory explores the past, present and future of the disease - from the first recorded case more than 100 years ago, right up to the cutting-edge research being done today, and it is a thrilling story. In writing this book I have witnessed extraordinary minds catapulting neuroscience into unimaginable futures. And I have seen breathtaking acts of human courage and sacrifice. We are now closer than ever to a cure."--From dust jacket.
