Episode notes
The Age Question
- Polls consistently show a majority of voters believe Biden is too old for a second term.
- The press's failure to cover this extensively is baffling, suggesting potential suppression.
Neurological vs. Cognitive Exams
- Parkinson's and Lewy body dementia are common, involving the protein alpha-synuclein.
- Diagnosing these requires a neurological exam, which includes a cognitive assessment.
Advances in Cognitive Testing
- A cognitive exam assesses memory, executive function, orientation, verbal, and spatial skills.
- New, sensitive tests like P-tau, SYN1, and imaging can provide clearer diagnoses.
