Focus - How We Age Well
Why are some of us more susceptible to dementia? What is a 'Super Ager'? And what might help us protect our brains in later life?
In this focus episode of How We’re Wired join producer Dr Eva Higginbotham as she dives into the science of Super Agers, from the genes that increase your risk of Alzheimer's to the structural brain changes seen in those who have aged well, and meeting a 92-year-old world traveller with a penchant for penguins.
With special thanks to Emily Rogalski and June Scott.
