"Memory," says Nobel Laureate Dr. Eric Kandel, "is who we are." This program investigates issues related to the brain’s fundamental processes of data storage and retrieval, such as why people remember some things and forget others; how Alzheimer’s disease affects the brain and what treatments are being developed to treat it; how aging affects memory; and what steps can be taken to preserve and improve retention. Panelists include experts from Harvard Medical School and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the author of the book Searching for Memory. (57 minutes)
