The Scientific American Healthy Aging Brain [EPUB ebook] 
The Neuroscience of Making the Most of Your Mature Mind

Good news about getting older from Scientific American
and Scientific American Mind
The Scientific American Healthy Aging Brain taps into the
most current research to present a realistic and encouraging view
of the well-aged brain, a sobering look at what can go
wrong–and at what might help you and your brain stay
healthy longer. Neurologists and psychologists have discovered the
aging brain is much more elastic and supple than previously
thought, and that happiness actually increases with age. While our
short-term memory may not be what it was, dementia is not
inevitable. Far from disintegrating, the elder brain can continue
to develop and adapt in many ways and stay sharp as it
ages.
* Offers new insights on how an aging brain can repair itself,
and the five best strategies for keeping your brain healthy
* Shows how older brains can acquire new skills, perspective, and
productivity
* Dispels negative myths about aging
* Explores what to expect as our brains grow older
With hope and truth, this book helps us preserve what
we’ve got, minimize what we’ve lost, and optimize the
vigor and health of our maturing brains.
