What Do I Want To Discover? • How does normal brain maturation differ from a brain affected by Alzheimer’s Disease? • What related diseases may be mistaken for Alzheimer’s? • What clinical trials are available? • What related health problems can be expected with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis? • Can lifestyle contribute to Alzheimer’s Disease? • At what stage will memory loss begin to affect day to day living? • Can the disease be cured? • What type of care is necessary after a diagnosis? • Are there non-drug therapies?

  5. The Story of My Search • Delicious ensures that I don’t forget to cite any of my sources • I reacquainted myself with Power Library • SIRS is great for newspaper articles • The full-text articles in Health and Science have so far given me a plethora of information • Citations are made easy with power library “cite” option • I currently have 2 articles on normal brain aging
