"'We're seeing men and women who have spent so much of their lives misremembering the past grow even more detached from reality,' said neuroanatomist Dr. Arthur Rothensen, who conducted the study. 'This terrible disease has made thousands of boomers' memories of the 1960s almost completely unreliable and fragmented. And we're talking about people who, even before they contracted Alzheimer's, believed they single-handedly ended the war in Vietnam.'
"Added Rothensen, 'It's just sad, really.'"
