Learn how to keep your brain’s “Triple A” rating throughout your adult years at The Wartburg in Mt Vernon, NY, on Sunday, October 30, 2011, from 3 pm to 6 pm. A free conference called Active, Alert Aging: Become Your Brain’s Best Friend, will feature NY Times Deputy Science Editor for health and medical science and author of the book, The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, Barbara Strauch as the keynote speaker.
The book reviews for The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain indicate that Ms. Strauch has uncovered information about the plasticity and adaptability of the human brain as we age. “Strauch’s book paints a radically new picture of the brain that goes far beyond making those entering middle age feel better. Instead the newly gained insights into the adult brain should cause us to rethink how we structure our lives…” said, Scientific American.
The speaker and workshops conducted by The Wartburg Adult Care Community’s staff will focus on taking charge of your brain’s fitness as you age. Continue the conversation over light supper. The conference is free and advance registration is required. Call Ms. Karen Thomas at The Wartburg Foundation, (914) 513-5308 or register online at http://alertactiveaging.eventbrite.com/ .
