Both healthy brains and brains affected by diseases such as Alzheimer’s are needed for research. Comparing healthy brains to those affected by neurodegenerative disease is a critical method for researchers to learn more about the underlying biology that causes brain disease. Join us to learn about brain banks, the importance of brain donations and areas of need. Plus, learn about research in the areas of diet and nutrition, exercise, cognitive activity and social engagement, and use hands-on tools to help you incorporate these recommendations into a plan for healthy aging.
