متن يادداشت

Your unreliable brain : midlife forgetfulness is embarrassing and frustrating, but what does it mean for the future? -- Glitches, gaps and gaffes : the memory-hungry crowd speaks candidly about screwing up -- Frontal-lobe overload : "too much information" is just one of the reasons you feel like you're drowning -- Blocking, blanking and begging for mercy : why words and thoughts flee without warning -- Into the doughnut hole : what a brain scan can (and cannot) tell you about what's going on upstairs -- Swall this : the feeding of a midlife brain : essential fatty acids, omega-3s, viatmins, supplements and plenty of glucose -- Mental aerobics : from tedious to addictive : options for exercising your neurons -- Bathing in battery acid : elevated cortisol associated with chronic stress is no friend to your hippocampus -- Yearning for estrogen : rejecting hormone therapy could leave your neurons in the lurch -- The vulnerable brain : the repercussions of concussions you never knew you had -- Cosmetic neurology : the potential for pharmaceutical cognitive enhancement is vast and possibly irresistible -- Meditation and neurofeedback : going in for a tune-up : why tinkering with brain waves can improve attention -- I'll sleep when I'm dead : sacrifice your slumber and you'll perform as well as if you've had a few stiff drinks -- Recreational drugs, alcohol, and other neurotoxins : the cognitive consequences of what you smoke, drink, eat and breath -- What your doctor forgot to tell you : prescription drugs and "safe" over-the-counter meds may account for your fogginess -- The last place you look : thyroid low? blood pressure high? a host of common midlife disorders pack a cognitive wallop -- Staring into the eye of the tiger : deep in the grip of Alzheimer's disease at the age of sixty, Joanna graciously invites us into her world -- Do you really want to know? : as opportunities for early assessment and intervention become available, will you embrace them? -- Emerging triumphant : how to stockpile neurons : the habits of the cognitively well-endowed.
