Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease was a disease that would make people senile, and thus affected memory. It was quite common for victims to remember snippets from their childhoods or lives. (TV: Out of Time) One sufferer could rarely remember her own name, and forgot Luke Smith in the middle of a conversation with him. (TV: Eye of the Gorgon)

Ace asked the Seventh Doctor if Time Lords could suffer from Alzheimers. He told her that they got much worse diseases. (PROSE: Relative Dementias)
