...odyssey of Elian supposedly ended when the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the Miami Cuban exile lobby's bid to win political asylum for him; and the boy and his father Juan Miguel Gonzalez, who had gone to the U.S. to claim him, were free to go home. Cubans like architect Ernesto Pasalagua, 67, called Elian's return "a great victory, just like the Bay of Pigs." But this custody saga has proved to be more than an extended tit for tat.

While the brain stores memories in a number of areas, it is the frontal lobe that retrieves them and puts them to work. For all its data-crunching power, the frontal lobe is a fragile thing. Everything from fatigue to hormonal changes to simple cellular wear and tear can cause it to falter. "Frontal-lobe processes change in all people as they age," says...
