Protecting brain health of seniors and promoting overall wellness
What is the most important factor for brain health in seniors? Well, that was the topic at SACPA or the Southern Alberta Council on Public Affairs session on Thursday. Dr. Robbin Gibb, professor and Chair of the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Lethbridge, explains how social connection, play and lifestyle habits protect brain health and promote wellness in older adults.
Gibb’s research explores how early life experiences, such as gentle touch and play, help the brain grow and adapt throughout life.
