"The Aging Brain" explores the science behind how our brains change as we grow older, revealing that some functions remain stable or improve over time while others decline. Taught by a neuroscientist, the course combines research and practical strategies—such as physical activity, diet, social engagement, and stress reduction—to help maintain brain health. The lectures delve into the cellular and molecular levels of brain aging, addressing questions about whether aging is a disease and how we might influence its effects. With insights accessible to all, the course emphasizes that we can take control of aging's impact on our minds.
