AARP 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.
