Brain aging is a natural yet complex biological process that leads to structural, functional, and molecular changes in the nervous system. Over time, neurons experience reduced plasticity, slower signaling, and metabolic stress, contributing to cognitive decline, memory loss, and increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases.

The Brain Aging session explores the mechanisms of neural aging, from oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction to inflammation and protein misfolding. Researchers are uncovering how genetics, lifestyle, and environmental factors accelerate or slow down brain aging.

Insights from the Brain Aging Conference emphasize the importance of early intervention through exercise, diet, neurostimulation, and pharmacological agents that support cognitive longevity. Neuroscientists and clinicians are now studying how neuroplasticity and regeneration can be maintained well into later life.

Participants will also gain exposure to emerging concepts like brain rejuvenation, anti-aging neurotherapies, and biomarkers for cognitive resilience. Ongoing findings in Neurobiology of Aging reveal new pathways for preventing neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
