Scientific research has shown that starting in our twenties, some brain functions begin a linear decline. Even if we avoid diseases such as Alzheimer and Parkinson, parts of the brain inevitably shrink, replicating cells become damaged, and fluid processing skills such as multitasking and episodic memory worsen. But is old age all doom and gloom? Are we destined for senescence once we are barely out of adolescence? Not at all! While it is true that some functions in the aging brain decline, neuroscientists have discovered that many other brain functions remain stable-or even improve-as we age. Furthermore, nurture plays as significant a role as nature, and there are a number of strategies you can implement to stave off declining brain function. This presentation will look at brain anatomy, memory enhancement with some interesting activities and tips, and what happens to the brain in various pathological conditions, such as Alzheimer and Parkinson disease.
