     • Alcohol
       • Alcohol messes with the hippocampus
       • Alcohol affects the short therm memory

5. Dementia

   • Development of memory impairment and other cognitive deficits severe enough to decrease the person’s capacity to function at the previous level.
     • Always related to injury of the CORTEX

             • Dementia
             • Paralysis
             • Loss of muscle tone
           • caused by conventional viruses
             • -Prions -SSPE -AIDS -PML
     • Types

6. Alzheimer’s Disease

   • irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills
     • Types
