The Science of Brain Health and Brain Fitness (similar to what I will teach at UC Berkeley) Neuroscientists have shown how the human brain retains neuroplasticity (the ability to rewire itself) and neurogenesis (the creation of new neurons) during its full lifetime, leading to a new understanding of what aging means. In this workshop, we will review the science behind some of key concepts in this field and explore their implications on our lifestyles: concepts include neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, the Cognitive Reserve theory for healthy aging, computer-based cognitive training programs, emotional self-regulation, and the 4 pillars for lifelong Brain Health.
