Plasticity and the Aging Brain

This meeting will explore the biological mechanisms that regulate trajectories of aging and enhance organismal resilience. Speakers will share lessons learned from multiple organ systems, organisms, and experimental model systems, with a broad scope spanning molecular to systems approaches. Emphasis will be placed on recent technological and conceptual innovations and translational opportunities that have opened new frontiers in the effort to protect health during aging.

The biennial Cognitive Aging Conference is the premier conference for presentation of research about aging and cognition based on experimental cognitive psychology, cognitive neuroscience of aging, human factors and ergonomics, and longitudinal studies of age-related cognitive change, its correlates, and determinants.

While the biology of aging is still a relatively new field, this GRC has become the premier forum for unpublished data presentation and discussions, resulting in a meeting where one can view exciting current science and also see the future directions of the field. Applications for this meeting must be submitted by June 4, 2023.
