I recall reading not too long ago (it may have been in New Scientist) that the female brain is more \"distributed\" in its processing than the male brain. This might, as a hypothesis, lead to the conclusion that women are less susceptable to Alzheimer\'s than men. Or, if the frequency is the same, to women having less severe forms. Given Dr. Goldberg\'s research, these questions and others might be open to being answered. I am curious if anyone has any thoughts on this.
Note: I cannot help but observe that the forum seems rather moribund. This surprises me because there is no more serious health issue in America today than the aging of its population (obesity at least can be reversed/controlled.) I am hoping the forum will become more lively in the near future. A great scientist and a great book certainly deserve better. |

Agreed on the latter point. Alas, it seems not to be. Why don\'t we just use it to frolic in our speculations? (I have no expertise on your primary topic, again, alas.) |
