Description:
The incredible true story of a team of doctors who—through years of innovative scientific sleuthing and observant care—revealed a surprising connection between opioids and memory loss, one that holds promise and peril for millions.
From the moment Massachusetts-based neurologist Jed Barash sees the unusual MRI scan of a young patient who has succumbed to sudden amnesia, the rookie doctor is certain he's discovered something deeply alarming. The image reveals a scorched and devastatingly injured hippocampus—the memory center of our brain—glowing against the dark background like a light pointing the way to a hidden mystery.
First detected in a small cluster of overlooked and stigmatized overdose victims, the story of The Memory Thief unfolds against the backdrop of two epidemics—opioid addiction and Alzheimer's disease—and points to an unexpected connection that could have profound implications for us all.
