Overview
El cerebro tiene la capacidad de reorganizarse y crear nuevas conexiones neuronales a lo largo de la vida. Esta facultad, conocida como "neuro plasticidad", le permite adaptarse a nuevas experiencias y aprender otras habilidades.
A medida que envejecemos, se producen ciertos cambios que pueden afectar a la función cognitiva, pero que no representan necesariamente un deterioro intelectual. El cerebro de mediana edad puede no ser tan rápido o eficiente en ciertas áreas (velocidad de procesamiento, atención o memoria de trabajo) como los más jóvenes, pero tiene su propio conjunto de fortalezas y habilidades que se pueden aprovechar y desarrollar para ayudar a las personas a continuar creciendo y aprendiendo a lo largo de sus vidas.
«En este libro la idea general es, por una parte, explorar las funciones cognitivas para saber de qué estamos hablando, y por otra, conocer más a fondo lo que ocurre en la mediana edad, qué cambios vamos a observar, cómo los podemos abordar y en qué medida es posible compensarlos, sustituirlos o estimularlos».
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
The secrets to a healthy brain
Our brains have the capacity to reorganize themselves and create new neural connections throughout our lives. This ability, known as "neuroplasticity," allows the brain to adapt and learn new skills.
As we age, certain changes can affect cognitive function but do not necessarily mean intellectual decline. In middle age, our brains may not be as fast or efficient in some areas (processing speed, attention or working memory) as they were when we were younger, but they develop a set of strengths and abilities that can be tapped and developed for continued growth and learning.
“The general idea of this book is, first, to help readers understand the brain’s cognitive functions and, second, to examine what happens in middle age, what changes we can observe, how to address them and, to the extent that this is possible, compensate for, substitute or stimulate them.”
