Meet Dr. Tucker, now a centenarian
Still going strong, a neurologist he's been
His life is a journey, and he's seen a lot
Four keys to his life now are he's got
Stay positive, learn often, give back, be kind
Refuge for his soul in them he will find

It's hard to believe that the #memoir I wrote with #neurologist Dr. Bruce Miller turns 2 next month. In the hopes of sharing our experience and knowledge, we have been doing outreach at #ADRCs (Alzheimer's Disease Research Centers), podcasts (#Nocturnists, #Dementia Matters, et al), and presentations at #senior residences. Shortly after the book came out, #JohnsHopkinsUniversityPress invited us to talk about why we wrote the book. Here's what we said: https://www.press.jhu.edu/newsroom/finding-right-words-story-literature-grief-and-brain

I've been on #keppra at 750mg twice a day for a long time.

Three weeks ago, we reduced it to 500mg twice a day. My seizures did not come back.

I've just had an appointment with a #neurologist and we're reducing it now to 250mg twice a day, for 3 weeks and then I'm stopping. Of course, that's assuming my #seizures don't come back.

🤞

Happy birthday to #neurologist Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852 - 1934), here in front of Purkinje and granule cells from a pigeon, based on one of his own drawings! Cajal &Golgi won the Nobel in 1906, "in recognition of their work on the structure of the nervous system". He was as much of an artist as he was a scientist & his 100s of drawings are still used for teaching purposes.⁠

@leo listened to an interview done on the #SGU podcast this week with Blake #Lemoine discussing his view #AI #Sentience with #LaMDA and other systems. Thought it might be interesting to you and others to hear him discuss his view with a bunch of #scientific #skeptics, including a #neurologist.

#DashaKiper writes about #dementia and #caregiving and identifying with the narrator of #Melville's #Bartleby. In #FindingtheRightWords, I write about identifying with Bartleby in that for a very, very long time, I preferred not to look at my father's #Alzheimer's. My dear friend, co-author, #neurologist, and empath #Dr.BruceMiller helped me look. He looked with me. My father died many years ago, but it remains extraordinarily hard and painful to look. https://lithub.com/what-melvilles-bartleby-the-scrivener-tells-us-about-memory-loss/ #EndAlz
