The Aging Brain – reviews the pathophysiological events in brain cells, on a biochemical and molecular level, which are associated with age-related decline in function. This section provides participants with clinical data to show that specific dietary and supplementation practices can support brain concentrations of important neurotransmitters and maintain nerve cell fluidity after the age of 55, when these considerations are most critical (1 hour)
