Dr Sam Moxon - The Mind’s Hidden Fortress, Cognitive Reserve and Dementia

Dr Sam Moxon - The Mind’s Hidden Fortress, Cognitive Reserve and Dementia

Dr Sam Moxon, narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

In this blog, Sam explores the concept of cognitive reserve, which acts as a protective "hidden fortress" against dementia. Cognitive reserve refers to the brain's ability to adapt and remain resilient in the face of damage or aging, allowing some individuals to maintain cognitive function despite significant brain pathology. The development of cognitive reserve starts in childhood and is influenced by factors such as education, social interactions, and mentally stimulating activities. Understanding and enhancing cognitive reserve through lifestyle choices like learning, social engagement, and healthy habits can significantly reduce the risk of dementia and support healthy brain aging.
