Science for Seniors is based on the science that we are never too old to learn. Clive A, Wilson, author of “No One Is Too Old to Learn: Neuroandragogy: A Theoretical Perspective on Adult Brain Functions and Adult Learning” discusses how adults can learn new concepts and sharpen their minds throughout life. Wilson’s book discusses how adults can learn new concepts and sharpen their minds throughout life. This is possible, he states, because brain plasticity still occurs late in life. Even more interesting Wilson points out humans may be able to experience new brain cell growth as we age if we continue the lifelong process of learning.  His book also makes an argument for the theory of a possible delay of Alzheimer’s disease in people who continue to learn.
