DC (V) - TED Talk "How your memory works -- and why forgetting is totally OK" (7 pm ET)


Have you ever misplaced something you were just holding? Completely blanked on a famous actor's name? Walked into a room and immediately forgot why? Neuroscientist Lisa Genova digs into two types of memory failures we regularly experience -- and reassures us that forgetting is totally normal.  In this Talk, Genova describes the difference between common moments of forgetting and possible signs of Alzheimer's, debunks a widespread myth about brain capacity and shares what you can do to keep your brain healthy and your memory sharp.

After the talk, we'll have a social discussion of what we heard and the resonance it has in our lives.
