[00:00:00]If we're looking at women who are 80, 90 years old now, their upbringing to this point is completely different than ours.

[00:00:06]Meaning that the job availability and the brain stimulation they had when they were in their 30s, 40s, 50s completely different than what we have now.

[00:00:13]>> Better or worse?

[00:00:14]>> Worse. So they didn't have necessarily opportunity to be scientists, lawyers, medical doctors. They didn't have as much stimulation of brain and implications on that neuroplasticity. So we're seeing a higher episodic issue of dementia and Alzheimer's in older women now. Because they didn't have the same lay down effect that we have now as 40, 50 year olds and the stimulus we have for neuroplasticity.
