Aging Brain

Written by Murray Schlussel on March 2nd, 2006

  • Book Rating: 2/5

This transcript of a lecture I found quite dissapointing. The speaker was too basic and did not illuminate the issues for anyone who has any awareness of the problems of aging, to make the time spent worthwhile.

If I had one complaint, it's that this wasn't long enough. Learning about the latest in brain physiology to see how diseases like Alzheimers are going to be cured... fascinating.
