The Eternal Memory follows a couple as they deal with Alzheimer's disease and caregiving
‘The Eternal Memory,” a Chilean documentary opening Friday in the Bay Area, tells the story of a couple who fight to keep their marriage strong after the husband is diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and the wife becomes his caregiver.
“I’m here to help you remember,” Urrutia gently tells Gongora, when he is confused after waking up in the morning. She gently tells him who he is, and that she is his wife, and that he is in the house where the two have long lived. Urrutia performs onstage and becomes a government minister. Gongora bravely reports the truth from the streets of Pinochet’s Chile.
“We all know about it,” Alberdi says, of the human-rights abuses that occurred during Pinochet’s rule. “We learned about it in school.”

Sugars affect brain 'plasticity,' helping with learning, memory, recoveryCan you recognize someone you haven't seen in years, but forget what you had for breakfast yesterday? Our brains constantly rearrange their circuitry to remember familiar faces or learn new skills, but the molecular basis of this process isn't well understood. Today, scientists report that sulfate groups on complex sugar molecules called glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) affect 'plasticity' in the brains of mice. Determining how GAGs function could help us understand how memory and learning work in humans, and provide ways to repair neural connectivity after injuries.
