Yvonne Stapp's video: Nutrition for a Healthy Aging Brain

Science for the Public: Contemporary Science Issues & Innovations 11/08/22. Susan B. Roberts, Ph.D., Senior Scientist, USDA Nutrition Center, and Professor of Nutrition, Tufts University. Dr. Susan B. Roberts is well known for her research on the relationship between nutrition and cognitive development. She is currently expanding that work to evaluate how nutrition affects the aging brain. In this discussion she explains the brain-nutrition relationship in general, and how these two studies underscore the need to provide a healthy diet for all ages. She is particularly interested in how specific dietary adjustments improve child cognitive development and, for the aging, prevent cognitive decline.
