March 13, 2025 Briony Catlow, Ph.D., Rewiring the brain: The Power of Neuroplasticity in Aging

As people age, their brains undergo physical and chemical changes that can lead to cognitive decline, such as memory loss, decreased concentration, and comprehension. However, some individuals demonstrate remarkable cognitive resilience to these effects of aging, thanks to their greater capacity to adapt to change. In this talk, Dr. Catlow will explore the concept of neuroplasticity in aging, highlighting how the brain can rewire itself in later years. She will delve into the lifestyle interventions that can help build cognitive reserve, offering practical advice on how to enhance brain health and maintain cognitive function as we age. Join us to discover the transformative power of neuroplasticity and learn how to keep your brain vibrant and resilient throughout your life.

This lecture will be held in person in the Anderson Academic Commons room 290 at 1:30 pm
