How to preserve your brain health

We sit down with Roy Hamilton, a professor of neurology, psychiatry, and physical medicine and rehabilitation at the University of Pennsylvania. Roy shares insights from his research on using non-invasive brain stimulation to help individuals with cognitive problems caused by neurological disorders. We dive into common misconceptions about cognitive aging, explore proactive steps to maintain brain health, and discuss the strong connection between heart health and brain function.
