The Science of Thinking - Overview (Zoom only)

The brain is an amazing three-pound organ that controls all functions of the body, interprets information from the outside world, and embodies the essence of the mind and soul. Intelligence, creativity, emotion, and memory are a few of the many things governed by the brain. However, other than the basics, most of us understand very little about the organ that helps us make sense of our world. This discussion will focus on successful brain-related aging strategies, understanding how we think and learn, and details about our memory systems and their use.
Purpose: Gain a better understanding of the brain, its anatomy and its basic controllable functions.
