DÉJÀ VU, AMNESIA, OR BOTH?

DÉJÀ VU, AMNESIA, OR BOTH? Which would you choose: to experience the greatest moment of your life and then have the memory completely disappear; or have an extraordinary moment, one that you actually never experienced, implanted in your memory? Memory can be an extraordinarily complex process … and can collapse like a house of cards in the mind of Alzheimer’s sufferers. It could be described as déjà vu and amnesia happening at the same time. Refresh your memory.
