Forgetting Something?
Tuesday, February 16, 2010 - 6:30-8:30 pm with discussion beginning at 7:00 followed by Q&A
Location: The Irregardless Café, 901 W. Morgan Street, Raleigh 833-8898
All of us misplace our car keys now and again. Most of us get lost while driving from time to time. We all have been to cocktail parties and have run into someone familiar whose name just escapes us. We often toss off such events as “senior moments.” These trivial events trouble us because they reflect a short circuiting of brain function. Do they mean anything serious is wrong with us or are they just annoying bumps in the road? Are they warnings of bad things to come such as dementia? This evening we will discuss the issues of memory loss, dementia, and aging.
About the Speaker:
S. Mitchell Freedman, MD, FAAN, is a member of the medical staff at Rex Hospital and Adjunct Professor of Neurology with the School of Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

Science Café is an event where, for the price of a cup of coffee or a
glass of wine, anyone can come to explore current topics in science and
technology. In conjunction with local Triangle Sigma Xi chapters, the
North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences will host a series of monthly
talks with the goal of promoting discussion of science in a community
setting. Our Science Café programs will take place in coffee shops, bars
and restaurants around Raleigh.
The North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences strives to enhance the
public's understanding and appreciation of the natural world through
exhibits, publications and programs. Visit us in downtown Raleigh at 11
West Jones Street or online at www.naturalsciences.org.
Sigma Xi is the international honor society of research scientists and
engineers, with more than 500 chapters in North America and around the
world. In addition to publishing American Scientist magazine, the
Society sponsors a variety of programs that support and promote science
and engineering.
