I am reading lots of memory books and reading alot about memory in various journals, and I thought about something I recently read---that the adult brain is far more "plastic" than previously thought. So I am hoping both you and my daughter can retrain that hippocampus! Thanks again for the info.

Hi wbwo,
You are correct the adult brain is far more plastic than thought. One way I was able to better my memory was to do word search puzzles, crossword puzzles and brain teasers ex. What 8 letter word has 1 letter in it? Answer: envelope (8 letters in the word envelope but only 1 letter is in it when mailed.) My neuropsych. told me to do things like less to help better my memory and I can see where it has helped me a lot. Here's wishing your daughter and you only the best. May God Bless You Both!
Sue
