I am closing down my practice and will focus on writing. I accept invites to book clubs, events and will sign and sell my books at your venues.

The aging brain - Sorry missed some notes yesterday so have added it here. This was the beginning of the lecture. My grey cells are aging - sosorry.
Professor Shayna Rosenbaum began that as we age there is disproportionate volume loss in some brain areas. There is reduced communication between neurons - white matter integrity-neurotransmitters - reduced blood flow due to narrowing of arteries, increased damage of free radicals and inflammation.
Also, I did not add at the end that the brain adapts and there is growth of new cells.
Sorry.
