As we age, cognitive function typically declines. However, we can offset this by strengthening existing nerve networks or forming new ones. This concept is known as cognitive reserve, which involves adopting brain-healthy habits to enhance brain function.

I am a social psychologist/gerontologist who became interested in cognitive neuroscience and #ENDALZ . I applied for post doc in that field and got in. I now have grant supports as I learn new skills. So, go for it. What’s the worse that can happen?

Really looking forward to this and hoping to see a lot of you!!! Thank you ISTAART AWAREPIA for the opportunity 🤓💪🏼🧠
