September 21st marks World Alzheimer’s Day, a pathology that represents one of the biggest health problems of the 21st century and has become the main cause of dementia in people over 65. The purpose of this commemoration is to raise awareness about the disease and educate society and institutions about it.
Keeping a healthy brain and training it as if it were any other muscle in our body is essential to combat neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. Some recommended activities to care for our brain include getting adequate sleep and resting well, engaging in physical exercise, developing introspection, learning to relax and do nothing for a while, building healthy relationships and connecting with others, or learning to focus on specific tasks.
At ISEP, we offer various master’s and postgraduate programs in the area of Neuropsychology, so that professionals can broaden their perspectives on evaluation, diagnosis, and intervention within the different pathologies that affect the central nervous system and produce alterations and/or deterioration of cognitive and behavioral processes.
