Can vary: Causes are several, but if your Dad used alcohol to excess, this could result in a similar atrophic pattern. Generically, might consider a medicine to assist his memory, focus, etc like donepezil, Exelon, (rivastigmine) Namenda, but would also want to supplement B vitamins, especially thiamine. Also, best to discuss further with his doctor.
