Our brains excel at detecting novelty, and this skill is important for learning, perception and decision making. This talk will present new research and ideas on how maintaining an enriched environment improves can improve quality of life and cognitive function with age.
Betsy Quinlan is Professor and Chair of the Department of Neuroscience at the School of Medicine and Public Health at UW-Madison. The work in her lab focuses on understanding how the brain changes with age, in order to identify interventions that may rejuvenate the aging brain. Her work has implications for the recovery from amblyopia (lazy eye) and stroke, as well as optimizing the maintenance of cognitive function with age.
