Last night was a celebration of two beautiful human beings, Milton and Harriet Miller, parents of my dear friend and co-author, Dr. Bruce Miller. The #UCSF #MemoryAndAgingCenter was filled with love, music, art, poetry, and, of course, science. How honored I was to have my book with Bruce keep company, in the gift bag, with the gorgeous poems of #JaneHirshfield and Harriet's painting.

Although I am not a neurologist, I think a lot about the #variants of #PrimaryProgressiveAphasia. I wrote a #memoir about my father's #early-onset #Alzheimer's with #neurologist, #Dr.BruceMiller of #UCSF's #MemoryAndAgingCenter. It explains where in the #brain the initial assault happens and helps us understand why people can't find the right words and/or garble them and/or repeat them. After many years, I learned that my father had the #logopenic variant.

I am honored to be discussing #caregiving, with these other authors, at the #Kensington #Caregiver Summer #BookClub on August 9th from 1 to 3 pm in #SierreMadre. My focus will be on #dementia, specifically #Alzheimer's. I will share what I learned studying neurology for a year at #UCSF's #MemoryAndAgingCenter & what I learned writing #FindingTheRightWords, a tribute to my beloved father who had #early-onset AD, with the extraordinary, empathic, & brilliant #neurologist #Dr.BruceMiller. #EndAlz

' “The current explosion of digital technology not only is changing the way we live and communicate but is rapidly and profoundly altering our brains,” he says. The daily use of computers, smartphones, search engines, and other such tools “stimulates brain cell alteration and neurotransmitter release, gradually strengthening new neural pathways in our brains while weakening old ones.” '
