Neuroscience as a Social Catalyst: Engaging Communities with Brain Health
29/10/2024 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
Presented by the Dana Foundation Career Network in Neuroscience and Society
Brain health involves integrating neuroscience into daily life for individuals of all ages. It’s crucial to apply this science in nurturing the developing brains of children and youth. By doing so, we equip them with brain skills that will benefit them in the future, contributing to enhanced brain health throughout their entire lifespan.
Join us for an insightful panel discussion that explores cutting-edge brain health initiatives and educational resources. The focus will be on nurturing cognitive wellness in children aged 5-17, as well as the need for a better understanding of brain health for emerging and young adults aged 18-39. This presentation will weave together the pioneering work of the Virtual Brain Health Center and the Next Generation Brain Health Study.
