Brain Aging Research

Brain aging research studies how the brain changes as we grow older, focusing on the natural cognitive decline that can occur and the factors influencing it. Scientists investigate areas such as memory, learning, and decision-making, as well as the biological processes involved, like inflammation and genetics. The goal is to understand how to maintain brain health and cognitive function in aging populations, potentially finding ways to prevent or mitigate age-related diseases like Alzheimer’s. This research helps inform strategies for improving quality of life in older adults.
