Harvard Aging Brain Study

The Harvard Aging Brain Study is research conducted by Harvard University that aims to understand how the brain changes with age and what factors contribute to healthy cognitive aging or the development of conditions like Alzheimer’s disease. It involves tracking brain health over time through advanced imaging, cognitive tests, and lifestyle assessments. The goal is to identify early signs of cognitive decline, develop strategies to maintain brain health, and potentially find ways to prevent or delay neurodegenerative diseases. This study helps improve our understanding of aging brains and informs efforts to improve quality of life for older adults.
