Lars Nyberg is one of the leading cognitive neuroscientists in the world. He uses brain imaging techniques (MRI and PET) to map function and structure in relation to cognitive aging, utilizing unique longitudinal data. One project, the Betula Project, contains over 5,000 participants and has been ongoing since 1988.

A contemporary theory of cognitive aging is the brain maintenance theory. In his talk, he will discuss the development of this theory and also the latest ongoing research to test this theory.
