Plasticity and the Aging Brain

The Simons Collaboration on Plasticity and the Aging Brain (SCPAB) aims to discover mechanisms of resilience and functional maintenance in the aging brain, and to establish a baseline for plasticity-related changes with age across many model systems. The SCPAB’s focus on the basic biology of cognitive aging is foundational to future translational approaches aimed at minimizing cognitive decline and extending healthy lifespan.
