russ, ask your doc about Aricept. I use it in Mild Cognitive Impairment in an off-label capacity all the time. Sometimes you get a nice response in clearly defined MCI.

Also, PLEASE check out this website http://www.positscience.com/ This is a company that basically designs an audio program with memory training exercises. This is a private company so I'm not pimping another company, but what they do is quite intriguing. They have some published work referenced on their website. So, one could propose for an 80 year-old healthy patient with MCI: a trial of Aricept at 5mg a day, NYT Sunday Cross World puzzles, reading whatever you like and avoiding TV, exercise that should be continued with(it increases BDNF on its own and has probably helped you), a trial of this POSIT science program, radio shows like NPR on some esoteric topic because you visualize things with more active thinking with radio than tv, simple quick tests of memory on your own as mental exercise, making sure there are no confounding variables at play: low thyroid, b12 deficiency ect...Hope that helps and good luck. david

Rusbrn, I can't imagine exactly how you feel so I am not going to try. Obviously you are interested in COR as an investor and perhaps AMPA upmodulation's benefit to mankind experiencing cognitive decline given all the possibilities that Gary Lynch's work has seemed to offer. I wanted to say thanks for the sincere post and we are invested to help the affected alongside our own bottom lines. What I was refering to were my own choices, and knowing there are no guarantees-taking a route likely to imply my own best. Have a peaceful evening and my sincere best wishes.....JD

Congratulations on being 80 (in a few days) and being so active. I’m glad to see you give God’s “grace” the credit and I am sure he had everything to do with your “moderate lifestyle and exercise for the last 30 to 40 years”. I don’t know how many people think that way, but if Cortex is going to reach its full potential, it will also need God’s “grace”.

I wish you well, and please post again.
