New Podcast: Discovering the Science of the Aging Brain

Posted on 06/16/25

As Brain Health Awareness Month comes to a close, many of us are eager to learn how to maintain a healthy brain. But what truly matters for brain health? Do brain games and puzzles make a difference? How do learning, social interactions, and music contribute?

And what does the future hold for brain research? Can we expect new scientific advancements or treatments to protect our cognitive health?

To explore these questions and more, AARP’s Marguerite Ro recently interviewed Dr. Rachel Hostetler, a neuroscientist at the Allen Institute for Brain Health. They delve into the latest scientific discoveries and research advancements that promise to enhance our understanding and improve brain health programs.

Discover what happens to our brains as we age – what’s normal, and when should we be concerned about our cognitive health. All this and more is covered in the latest episode of the “Caring for Caregivers” podcast series.
