The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain

http://media.soundmedicine.org/segments/052613_5.mp3

In her new book, author Barbara Strauch takes on some popular assumptions about aging. She joins Barbara Lewis to discuss "The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain." Strauch cites evidence showing that older brains develop and remain flexible, and she’ll argue that grown-up brains perform better at tasks such as making judgments and recognizing patterns.
