Today, 36 million people around the world suffer from Alzheimers disease. And that is discounting the huge number of relatives, colleagues, and friends who suffer as they watch the disease erase a persons memory, turning a rich life into a blank sheet of paper. The issue of Alzheimers disease is becoming increasingly pressing as todays population grows ever older. Its victims include famous names: actors, writers, and politicians. And any one of us can fall victim to it in the future. Science has yet to discover the causes of this disease. No one can fight against the affliction: no amount of exercise, vitamins, mantras, or prayer, can save you from it. And yet we hear more and more assurances from scientists that they are getting close to unlocking the mystery of Alzheimers. The solution is just around the corner: all thats left is to figure out the workings of human memory
