=== A Note to Our Readers ===
This month Medicine for People presents the eighth in a series of articles
entitled "Brain Health as We Age." We feel this issue is vital to long-term
happiness and quality of life.

We are temporarily changing our practice of emailing you the text of our
article and instead we have posted it on our website.  We did this because
we wanted to include some excellent visual aids that would be cumbersome to
send and download.
