Paperback. Condizione: Good. 208 pages. cover worn, An international bestseller delivering good news on brain function and ageing We all worry sometimes that our brains ? particularly our memories ? just don?t work as well as they used to. In this illuminating book, internatio nally acclaimed Dutch neuroscientist André Aleman sh…ows that although the decli ne in our mental capacities begins earlier than we think, this is not such a bad thing. In fact, older people are more resistant to the effects of stress, cope better with their emotions and with complex situations, and are ? generally sp eaking ? happier than their younger counterparts.Our Ageing Brain will change the way we think about age and mental acuity. Drawn from the latest resea rch in cognitive science, it outlines what takes place in the brain as we age, h ow to recognise the early symptoms of Alzheimer?s disease, and how to distingu ish fact from fiction when it comes to ways of slowing down the ageing process. It concludes with the seven most important things we can each do to keep our bra ins healthy.Published here in English for the first time, this is a refre shing, informative, and ultimately reassuring examination of what happens to our most important organ as we grow older.
