If we see results it may be on a par with that Robin Williams movie with people coming out of catatonia. What if all those sharp minds could be brought back?

Nice to have your comment. Once in a while the Hollywood movies have touched on a vital concern. That brought me back to a Dustin Hoffman movie. He had deserted this lady and left her with his son. He thought he could show up out of the blue and be welcomed. He had been on a prison farm.

She screamed at him as she was taking phone orders, "Joe the banana king here"..... Get lost. He wanders into the big fountain in Chicago, babbling and crying. That fountain I have seen. Then I learned the meaning of catatonic from that.

Next up, tied down on a hospital gurney. The unsung heroes- those who perfect a new discovery.

Correction to my post.

Not showing the signs of Alzheimers here but..... The film underated and ignored (it is said), was "Scarecrow". Not Dustin Hoffman, but Al Pacino, with Gene Hackman.

What a final scene with that fountain!.
