Joseph Neve posted a comment to my entry entitled "Video Games Exercise Senior Brains." I want to first thank Joseph for his inquiry. Second, Joseph, Have you seen a doctor to obtain therapy which may include games to improve your memory. You might try that. You might even suggest to the doctor that you explore biofeedback or other computer assisted exercises. Good luck and thank you for your comment.
