1. 1. Memory's Last Breath

   Field Notes on My Dementia

   

   Part memoir and scientific inquiry, this book follows a neuroscientist’s experience of progressive memory loss, blending frank diary entries with clear explanations of how memory works and how it falters. It investigates the embodied, sensory, and social dimensions of remembering—especially smell, place, and language—while asking ethical questions about autonomy, care, and identity. Tender and incisive, the narrative reframes dementia not only as loss but as a way of revealing what memory does for the self, mixing clinical clarity with lyrical reflection on continuity, connection, and meaning.
