Alzheimers: disease or normal aging?

On July 31 the Belmont Village Assisted Living Community in Sunnyvale is hosting a lecture titled "Is Alzheimer's Disease or Just Normal Aging?"

Dr. Ealon Mathew Joelson, a neurologist at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, will speak about healthy and diseased brain function, what to expect when visiting a neurologist, and current medical knowledge about the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's.

The free seminar is open to anyone who is concerned about normal memory function during the aging process and would like to know how to distinguish serious causes of memory loss versus benign ones.

The lecture begins at 5 p.m. at Belmont Village at 1039 E. El Camino Real in Sunnyvale.
