Have you ever gone into a room and then suddenly can’t remember why you’re there?  Or you recognize someone’s face but suddenly can’t remember their name?   How does one know when these so-called “senior moments” become a greater concern of serious memory loss? Dr. Greg Davis recently spoke with Dr. Greg Jicha, a top Alzheimer's researcher at the UK Sanders Brown Center on Aging about differentiating between normal memory loss with aging versus abnormal or pathologic memory loss. They also discuss a number of volunteer opportunities at Sanders Brown.

Dr. Greg Davis is a forensic pathologist with UK HealthCare. Every week, Davis speaks with local health providers, professionals, and researchers on Dr. Greg Davis on Medicine.
