商品描述
Neuroplasticity is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. It is when the brain is rewired to function in some way that differs from how it previously functioned.
How does aging affect neuroplasticity? As we grow older, plasticity decreases to stabilize what we have already learned. What influence does the aging process have on memory? Forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging. As people get older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain. As a result, some people may notice that it takes longer to learn new things, they don't remember information as well as they did, or they lose things like their glasses. This book on evolving neuroscience is unique in its lifespan focus on driving neuroplasticity in a positive direction to influence the Flynn effect of increasing human intelligence as the preferred way to prevent, delay onset, and/or reverse dementia. It considers potential impact from the first moments of life through end of life. It includes intergenerational activities. Its inclusion of centenarians and supercentenarians provides examples of "Super Agers" who have maintained and/or increased neurocognitive capacity, often with a health span that approximated their vigorous longevity. It discusses the use of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution to refine, personalize, and broaden our global reach to enhance the Flynn effect as the preferred effort to improve global statistics on neurocognitive functioning at any age. Driving neuroplasticity in a positive direction at all ages is urgent.
With this book's focus on evidence-based interventions at any age which can have physical, emotional, neurobiological, neurochemical, immunological, and social health benefits, it is a unique overview and application of evolving neuroscience to address the UN/WHO Decade of Action for Healthy Ageing for All.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
神經可塑性是大腦中神經網絡通過生長和重組而改變的能力。這是指大腦被重新連接,以不同於先前運作的方式運作。
老化如何影響神經可塑性?隨著年齡增長,神經可塑性會減少,以穩定我們已經學到的知識。老化過程對記憶有什麼影響?健忘可能是老化的正常部分。隨著人們年齡的增長,身體的各個部分,包括大腦,都會發生變化。因此,有些人可能會注意到學習新事物的時間變長,記憶信息的能力不如以前,或者會遺失像眼鏡這樣的物品。本書專注於不斷演變的神經科學,獨特地關注於推動神經可塑性朝向正面方向發展,以影響人類智力增長的Flynn效應,作為預防、延緩發作和/或逆轉癡呆的首選方式。它考慮了從生命的第一刻到生命結束的潛在影響,並包括跨世代的活動。書中提到的百歲老人和超百歲老人提供了“超級老年人”的例子,他們維持和/或增強了神經認知能力,通常伴隨著與其活躍長壽相近的健康壽命。它討論了利用人工智慧(AI)革命來精煉、個性化和擴大我們的全球影響力,以增強Flynn效應,作為改善任何年齡段神經認知功能的全球統計的首選努力。在所有年齡段推動神經可塑性朝向正面方向是緊迫的。
本書專注於任何年齡段的基於證據的介入,這些介入可以帶來身體、情感、神經生物學、神經化學、免疫學和社會健康的好處,提供了一個獨特的概述和應用,旨在應對聯合國/世界衛生組織的健康老化十年行動計畫。
