What we are studying

We want to learn more about brain aging in healthy adults, and what factors may contribute to brain health.


Why it is important

Through this study, we will look at cognitive performance, psychosocial variables, and health behaviors to shed light on some of the factors that may help promote resilience to brain aging and resistance to the development of disease-related pathologies.


What we hope to accomplish

We hope to learn more about brain aging and brain resillience to disease in older adults.
