Discover what “brain plasticity” means and why it can revolutionize the way we live, teach, and learn with the free video lesson b…
Neurodegeneration
Global health particularly considers natural aging, which accompanies economic, health, and social development. In this context, it is essential to prevent and delay neurodegeneration as much as possible, thereby prolonging health, autonomy, and happiness in the third and fourth age. While studying…
