The Brain: An Owner’s Guide – Insights into Senior Moments (Oct. 25)
Dr. John Hart, Jr. is giving the third in the The Brain: An Owner’s Guide series at 7:00pm on October 25 at the Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas’ Fogelson Auditorium located at 8200 Walnut Hill Lane, in Dallas. There is $25 charge to attend. Do you wonder why you forget the name of something at a critical time and hope that it will "pop" into your mind before embarrassment arises? These "senior moments" occur due to asynchrony in the brain cells that retrieve the stored information for objects such as features, categories, emotions and labels. When the brain synchronizes the stored information, you feel the name of what you were trying to remember "pop back in", hopefully just in the nick of time. For further information or to reserve a seat, contact Jennifer Zientz at 214-905-3007 or online at www.centerforbrainhealth.org. The presentation is sponsored by Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas & the Neuroscience Center at Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas.
