About
Cognitive Aging: It’s a No Brainer – Dr. Heather Palmer
August 6, 2026 | REWIND SESSION | 10AM – 12PM
Changes in the ability to think are a common, frustrating and often life altering part of the aging process. These changes can impact all aspects of life including relationships, psychological well-being and daily function. Fortunately, it is now well understood that the brain does have the capacity to develop new connections between regions to compensate for areas of weakness (a concept commonly referred to as neuroplasticity). Neuro-cognitive rehabilitation, founded on neuroplasticity, is designed to promote neural networking to improve how your brain functions. Through simple, sustainable and effective strategies you can rewire your brain to maximize your capacity, reduce your risk of dementia and enhance your overall cognitive well-being. The time is now to be proactive and learn techniques to help you think, feel and function your best.
July and August will feature special “Rewind Sessions,” where popular past lectures will be replayed for a live audience, followed by discussion and insights from subject matter experts. In September, participants will enjoy a live presentation featuring faculty from Lakehead University.
Each session invites you into a deep dive on a compelling theme, led by experts who bring their research and real-world knowledge to life. From big questions about society and democracy to explorations of creativity, culture, and scientific discovery, these lectures are designed to challenge perspectives and spark meaningful conversation.
These sessions are open to all ages and welcome anyone with an interest in lifelong learning. Guests are encouraged to bring their favourite mug for extra cozy vibes. Tea, coffee, and light treats will be available, creating a warm and welcoming space to learn, connect, and engage in thoughtful discussion.
