Q Audiobooks: The Aging Brain, by Thad A. Polk, Narrated by Thad A. Polk
Q Audiobooks is a regular feature at LGBTSr highlighting audiobooks of interest to the LGBTQ listener.By: Thad A. Polk, The Great Courses

Publisher: The Great CoursesAbout ‘The Aging Brain’
We’re all getting older every day, and scientific research has shown that starting in our 20s, some brain functions begin a linear decline. But is old age all doom and gloom?
Not at all! While it’s true that some functions in the aging brain decline, neuroscientists have discovered that many other brain functions remain stable – or even improve – as we age. Furthermore, nurture plays as significant a role as nature, and there are a number of strategies you can implement to stave off declining brain function, including:
- Incorporating physical activity into your routine
- Eating a healthy diet
- Maintaining a vibrant social life
- Reducing your stress
The science behind the aging brain tells a fascinating – and often counterintuitive – story. Is “aging” a disease or merely a natural occurrence that produces disease-like symptoms? If humans are biologically programmed to survive and thrive, why do we age at all? Is it possible (or even desirable) to “cure” aging altogether?

… As a journalist, Holly was twice nominated by the WPA for her Buzz magazine column on Hollywood, “The Hills” (USA Today raved: “Palance is one of the funniest writers in the business”). She was editor-in-chief at Santa Barbara Magazine, (under her leadership it won the WPA Award for Best City Magazine), and editor-in-chief of the Los Angeles Times lifestyle publication, Distinction. She is a HuffPo contributor.
