“Conversations about neuroscience can overwhelm me, and medical references to the way our brain works tend to lose me in a cloud of scientific terminology. Personally, I would rather discuss the social aspects of aging issues, yet I also know it’s helpful to grasp the complexities of the brain when caring for individuals with dementia.Fortunately, I’ve recently come across a neuroscientist who is able to make scientific brain lingo very relatable.
Dr. Wendy Suzuki’s engaging and conversational approach to understanding the brain in her book, “Happy Brain, Happy Life: A Personal Program to Activate Your Brain & Do Everything Better,” connects neuroscience with everyday references.
I highly recommend either reading or listening to her book, or viewing Dr. Suzuki’s TEDWomen talk about the brain-changing benefits of exercise.
Something new or unusual is effective because our brains respond to new stimuli as a way to protect us.
Dr. Suzuki also helps to clarify the difference between dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.”
