I had no idea Genova was a neuroscientist when I read Still Alice. This new book is very good at explaining the science of memory in terms which a lay person can understand. The various types of memory, how they are formed, some of the things you can do to improve those different types, and the differences between plain old ordinary forgetting and Alzheimer's/dementia are explored. The experiments done to get to this point of our understanding of the human brain were very interesting.

A very quick and engaging read, with a nice bibliography at the end if you want to go deeper.
