[Agency] NIH [Project Title] BRAIN & COGNITIVE CHANGES AFTER REASONING OR PHYSICAL TRAINING IN COGNITIVELY NORMAL SENIORS [Institution] UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS DALLAS [Amount] $500,000 [Summary] Brain & Cognitive Changes after Reasoning or Exercise Training in Cognitively Normal Seniors Seniors 65 years of age and older represent one of the fastest growing segments of our society with the population doubling within the next 25 years with dramatic rates of mental decline, costing society billions of dollars each year. The proposed research seeks to discover whether relatively short term mental or physical training can enhance gist reasoning, generalize to untrained cognitive areas and modify/strengthen brain function in areas susceptible to aging processes. To identify neuroprotective and non-pharmacological interventions to prevent mental decline and maximize cognitive brain health during the course of the adult lifespan has major public policy implications.
