Mid-life activities are important for late-life cognition - Professor Rik Henson, Cambridge UK

Rik Henson presented this talk at the 2020 BNA Festive Symposium, "The seven ages of (hu)man", exploring the neuroscience of ageing through the lifespan. Rik Henson is President-Elect of the BNA, and a Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge, where he is a Deputy Director of the Medical Research Council (MRC) Cognition and Brain sciences Unit (CBU). His research concerns the systems neuroscience of human memory, and how memory changes with age, dementia and following brain damage.  The BNA Festive Symposium is one of the most popular events in the neuroscience calendar, with a reputation for lively and inclusive programmes which attract people interested in neuroscience across all stages of their career. The 2020 Festive symposium marked the launch of The BNA’s annual theme for 2021: The neuroscience of ageing. Taking inspiration from Shakespeare’s famous passage from, “All the world’s a stage”, the programme featured talks across all stages of the lifespan, covering changes to the maternal brain, neurodevelopmental disorders, the adolescent brain, super-agers and more.
