Thursday, August 9: The Aging Brain

What happens to the brain as we age? Are we doomed to lose our memories and become senile? Are there choices we can make to protect our brain from the ravages of time? In this presentation we will examine the evidence-based lifestyle and non-pharmacological interventions which will protect your brain and diminish your risk of dementia.

Objectives:
1. Identify risk factors that accelerate the aging process.
2. Differentiate normal aging from pathological aging (dementia).
3. Identify evidence based lifestyle factors and non-drug interventions that slow the aging process and prevent dementia.
