Memories (part2)

I said about Tony too, who I've known for many, many, many (etc) years .. from 1971 I think. He's had a pretty fuzzy memory during that time in some ways but it's not got worse over time. Though he came down with an illness, that meant about two months in intensive care, which made his memory worse for a while. That was about ten years ago and he's in his late 60's now and his memory's no worse than it was before the illness or going back before that.

I mentioned neural pathways and memory too.

Which is about building pathways in the brain through repetition.
