Can exercise help offset the risk of Alzheimer's?
Psychologist Dr. Kirk Erickson shares highlights from research showing the potential impact of moderate exercise on cognitive aging. Research has shown that the older adult brain retains the potential for plasticity, including hippocampal growth. Dr. Erickson shares why he is optimistic about recent studies, including one that showed older individuals who engaged in 12 months of moderate exercise were able to modify size and structure of brain mechanisms that typically deteriorate in late adulthood, offsetting changes that can be predictive of the onset of memory problems and brain disease.

    The old school way is to use reverse psychology and tell them they’re stupid so they prove you wrong

    • @CenterforBrainHealth
      @CenterforBrainHealth Місяць тому

      Overcoming challenges can help us build confidence and resilience, but using reverse psychology in this way can easily become damaging to a person’s self-esteem, feelings of trust and desire to dream of a better future. Even if well-intended, it can have a damaging impact, making a person feel like they do not belong.

    How should we advocate?

    • @CenterforBrainHealth
      @CenterforBrainHealth 2 місяці тому

      That's a great question because it will help you get started! How you advocate can depend on your community. Many women start by taking personal steps in their own healthcare and sharing the experience with other women, encouraging them to do the same. Making women's health and brain health a bigger part of the conversation is a big step in advocacy. Beyond that, you could seek out connections with new people, perhaps at community groups or local healthcare providers. You can also get involved on a political level, contacting your local representatives to support (or working with groups who work to advance) increased awareness and access.

  • @mseong6973
    @mseong6973 2 місяці тому

    There seems to be some interesting literature on leveraging the vestibular system, ultra short closed-eye rest periods, and high intensity exercise to enhance neuroplasticity. There seem to be many tools that can potentially improve training progress and possibly transfer: brainwave entrainment, HDtDCS, paired associative rTMS, transcranial photobiomodulation, EEG neurofeedback, and natural/safe peptide or flavonoid-based(or not really, just that most truly effective pharmaceuticals seem to be in clinical trials/dropped or simply not as available) cognitive enhancers. It will be interesting to see how training outcomes improve with the implementation of any of these potential methods, since rehab studies tend to show the highest degree of improvement through the convergence of training AND more medical techniques. My current opinion is that the use of such methods to enhance training effect size will allow researchers to more quickly and effectively determine the true extent of task-specific improvement as well as far transfer. I suppose there is real difficulty in finding enough participants willing to train for long periods of time.

    • @CenterforBrainHealth
      @CenterforBrainHealth Місяць тому

      Thank you for sharing those insights. Yes, there is so much more research to be done, and recruiting long-term participants is both challenging and critical -- if you know anyone who is interested in participating in research to advance brain health science, we always have a variety of studies recruiting participants. One longitudinal study, The BrainHealth Project, seeks to engage 100,000 participants across the globe in 🤞 10 years of cognitive training and periodic assessments! centerforbrainhealth.org/science/participate-in-a-study
