What Is Normal Brain Aging?

In this episode of I CARE FOR YOUR BRAIN with Dr. Sullivan, board certified neuropsychologist Dr. Karen D. Sullivan discusses normal brain aging, like increased social cognition, wisdom, and vocabulary, and the mild changes we may see like changes in hearing and vision and the ability to multi-task. Dementia is not a normal part of brain aging, so it is important to understand the difference. Learn more at www.icfyb.com

Very useful information and I would like to know where I can find ways to react when my mother forgets something I just said.

Have you done a video CSVD, if not will you do one/

[@nanettejaynes1368]

This really helps me understand that what I feel is normal. Thank you.

[@icareforyourbrainwithdr.su7103]

Yay!

Great information, clearly presented. Very useful for anyone who's concerned for a loved one, colleague, friend or acquaintance (or themselves), and a nice encapsulation I'll definitely share with my community. I particularly appreciate the reminders that dementia is NOT normal aging, and that there are several other causes of what might appear to be dementia in an older person, but is not, and these need to be carefully assessed, and treated appropriately. I appreciate the snapshot delivery of so much valuable info. Thank you!

You are so welcome, it is truly my joy to be here!

You have been an incredible source of information and encouragement! Our mother is being monitored for indicators of Lewy Bodies and I’m looking for all of the info I can get. Thank you.

Four big things with LBD to watch for: Parkinson's like symptoms (tremor, shuffling), waxing and waning mental status, visual hallucinations/illusions and visusospatial problems.

Talk is great. It would be helpful to have some visual information as you speak. Thank you for the information

[@icareforyourbrainwithdr.su7103]

I agree, Terry, but it is hard given my schedule.

Thanks for another great video. Please move to Irvine, CA!!! 😂😂

I am F62, smoking. I had Two EEG and my neurologist told me that my Brain is 33 years old !!

Most useful for the average, heathy individual; what about a 73 yo M with a history of neurosurgery to remove a colloid cyst and years of chronic hydrocephalus? My neurologist tells me that "I don't pay enough attention to detail." Should I replace him?

Multitasking does not exist.
