In reality, brain aging is far more complex \u2013 involving both gains and losses with a high degree of variability from person to person. Changes to the brain in healthy aging can best be understood as a lifelong process of adaptation to biological, psychological, and environmental factors. This talk will focus on what has been learned from studying seniors with high levels of cognitive function. It will tackle questions such as, how do &#8220;optimally aging&#8221; brains respond to challenges like stress and memory demand? And, how do the the brains of optimally-aging seniors compensate for decline in important cognitive functions like learning and memory? In addressing these questions, this presentation will highlight discoveries in the neuroscience of aging and provide a better understanding of the possibilities and limitations of the aging brain.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Understanding and Leveraging the Power of the Adaptive Brain<\/h3>\n<h4>Indonesian-American Frontiers of Science Symposium<\/h4>\n<h5>Nichole Lighthall, University of Central Florida<\/h5>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Neuroplasticity - Nichole Lighthall, University of Central Florida\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/226913595?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000\">New scientific initiatives seek to map the human brain in a similar manner to the mapping of the human genome. Yet, the more we learn about the brain, the more we realize that we have a moving target. Scientists have observed change in the number, function, structure, and connections of neurons from birth to death. These changes occur naturally in response to development, experience, trauma, and disease. This introductory talk will provide an overview of neuroplasticity \u2013 highlighting the dynamic nature of the brain as it responds to biological, psychological, and environmental factors. The audience will learn about how neuroplasticity plays out across the lifespan and what the science of today says about possibilities and limitations of growth and reorganization in the brain. Finally, this talk will consider how advancements in science and technology should be directed to promote optimal brain health and discuss current controversy about the effectiveness of \u201cbrain training\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robots are coming&#8230; or are they here?
