Brain Resilience
Brain resilience is more than just bouncing back from tough times. It’s about how we grow, learn, and adapt throughout life.
Resilience is the brain’s ability to adapt, not just to stress or adversity, but to everything life throws our way.
From learning to walk and talk, to building relationships or facing new challenges, our brains are constantly adjusting to new situations. This ability comes from the brain's remarkable biology. But it's also shaped by our whole body and by our surroundings.
Brain resilience isn't just about the brain on its own. It's also about the heart, the immune system, the gut. It's about our relationships, communities and life experiences.
That's why, at the INN, we look at brain resilience from the perspective of the whole person. Brain resilience is about all of us.
Brain Resilience in Aging and Dementia
Our first large-scale study of brain resilience in aging has launched!
The study seeks to understand the causes of dementia and ways to reduce the risks of developing dementia as we age.
