TTC / TGC – The Aging Brain

We’re all getting older every day, and scientific research has shown that starting in our twenties, some brain functions begin a linear decline. Even if we avoid diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, parts of the brain inevitably shrink, replicating cells become damaged, and fluid processing skills such as multitasking and episodic memory worsen. Is old age all doom? Are we destined for senescence once we’re barely out of adolescence?
Read the complete description

Not at all! While it’s 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. You can also prevent brain function from declining by using nurture strategies.

Include physical activity in your daily routine
A healthy diet
Maintaining a vibrant social circle
Reducing your stress

The science behind the aging brain tells a fascinating—and often counterintuitive—story. Are you a senile person? “aging” A disease is a condition that can be caused by natural events.-Like symptoms? Why does our body age so quickly if we are biologically programmed for survival and growth? Is it possible (or even desirable) to “cure” What is the best way to age? These questions and many more can be found in The Aging Brain. The course was taught and evaluated by Professor Thad, a neuroscientist who has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Neuroscience.-These 12 eye experts were selected by the University of Michigan as a winning professor.-opening lectures will give you a wealth of new insights into what happens to the brain over time—as well as strategies to mitigate the effects of aging and enhance your quality of life into old age.

Professor Polk’s cutting-edge research combines scientific research with practical applications.-Edge science brought to life. To show you how certain functions are declining, what genetic controls can be used to alter them, and what you could do to prolong your life and keep your mind sharp, he takes you to the molecular and cellular levels of the brain. Aging All of us are affected by it, but as you will see in The Aging BrainYou can have some control over how it affects and impacts you.

Explore the Science of Aging

Professor Polk is an active researcher in neuroscience and will give you a comprehensive introduction to the science and art of aging. He is not afraid to tackle the complex, and he gives a clear explanation of everything from physiology to genetics and stem cell research. You will also learn about:

The Biology of aging: Most of the physical decline that occurs in aging can be attributed to basic metabolism mechanisms. This includes molecules called free radicals which steal electrons and cause DNA damage. Find out more about these mechanisms, and how you can combat them.
The brain’s structure and activity changes: It is possible now to study brain activity and structure while subjects are performing various tasks using new imaging techniques. Such studies have revealed that changes in the brain can actually shed light on why some cognitive functions decline with age, while others don’t. Learn more about this fascinating field to gain insight into how your brain might reorganize itself to assist you in aging gracefully.
Conditions and diseases: Stroke, dementia, and depression are all common conditions as we get older. Find out what causes brain diseases such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, learn how they are treated, and consider the role of nature versus nurture in preventing them.
Future therapies: Can we prevent the onset of aging? You can look to the future and see what kind of results gene therapy or stem cell research might bring. You should consider the potential risks these possibilities pose to our bodies as well society.

Learn How to Keep Your Mind Healthful

While it is inevitable to age, there are many things we can do. Researchers have discovered a wealth information about how to stay healthy and sharpen your mind by studying communities that live extraordinarily long lives.

Memory: There are many better ways to retain and learn information than memorization. Professor Polk will teach you how build a memory home and how to use spatial and visual thinking, deep processing, and deep processing to improve memory.
Physical Activity: Everyone knows that exercise can help keep your body fit, but scientific studies are now revealing that it can also substantially improve your cognitive functioning—while reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and other brain disorders.
Diet: The Cognitive well-being has been demonstrated to be improved by Mediterranean and other diets with lots of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.-being. One research study’s results were so shocking that it was cancelled halfway through.-It was decided that it would be unethical to continue the diet of the control group with processed foods.
Socialization: Humans are social creatures. We need a sense purpose. Communities with strong social bonds have a stronger correlation to longer lives.

Also, be active, eat healthy, and create a strong social network. This is great advice for people of all ages, but it’s even more important as you get older. You can learn a lot from what you have just read. The Aging BrainYou can approach the challenges of ageing with confidence and understanding. Armed with knowledge, you can live a longer, happier, healthier life.
