Alzheimer’s Disease Causing Baby Boomers To Misremember 1960s Even More
PALO ALTO, CA—Alzheimer’s researchers at Stanford University published a study this week showing that the degenerative brain disease is beginning to affect the baby boomer generation, causing many to remember the 1960s even less accurately than they normally would.
“We’re seeing men and women who have spent so much of their lives misremembering the past grow even more detached from reality,” said neuroanatomist Dr. Arthur Rothensen, who conducted the study. “This terrible disease has made thousands of boomers’ memories of the 1960s almost completely unreliable and fragmented. And we’re talking about people who, even before they contracted Alzheimer’s, believed they single-handedly ended the war in Vietnam.”
