The Aging Brain
According to my 11 year old son, the 61 year old aging brain that Dad has is way too focused on
chores, and discipline and homework, and it is even a mean brain, because Dad s aging brain is
frustrated occasionally by 11 years of cajoling, begging, explaining, and ordering behavior change.
And soon this 11 year old brain will be hitting puberty?
Well, in the meantime, what is an aging Dad s brain to do to keep itself viable until such time as it
gets to retire to the hammock with any of a thousand books I want to read?
Did I mention I have a five year old daughter?
Well, it turns out I do have many more options available than my parents knew about, because
neuroscientists are uncovering some very interesting capacities of the human brain, like
neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, which can actually be cultivated.
That is correct, decades, if not centuries of neuroscientific dogma overturned in the last 10-12
years.
