#korsakoff — Public Fediverse posts

This article about a nursing home discharging Steven Block, a person with #dementia who then becomes homeless, is unbearably sad. It is an accompaniment to the #WashingtonPost's very good (and devastating) piece on the deplorable state of #assistedliving communities (even the ones with chandeliers). The #care, or lack thereof, for our #elders is a #shanda.

Vind wel dat begeleiders het beter zouden kunnen uitleggen aan die man met #korsakoff. En dan ook zeggen dat hij het ook heel erg vindt. Volgens mij heeft hij behoefte aan duidelijkheid. Dat is het minste wat je hem kan geven als je hem opsluit op last van de rechter.

A quick #introduction by way of a recent paper: hippocampal-centric models of episodic memory are incomplete.

Here's why/our fix:

The anterior thalamic nuclei: core components of a tripartite episodic memory system
