Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Florida Atlantic University – Jupiter We are surrounded by advice about keeping our brains healthy—from puzzles and supplements to brain-training apps and special diets. But what does modern neuroscience actually reveal about maintaining cognitive vitality as we age? In this engaging, evidence-based lecture, Dr. Nicole Baganz will explore how the nervous system adapts over time, the biology of neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, and what research tells us about everyday practices that can influence brain health and resilience. Discover how meditation, breathing, sleep, physical activity, and social connection may support neural health and cognitive well-being. Along the way, Dr. Baganz will separate myths from scientific evidence and translate current research into practical, realistic strategies grounded in biology.
