In her impeccably researched book, science writer Barbara Strauch explores the latest findings that demonstrate, through the use of technology such as brain scans, that the middle-aged brain is more flexible and more capable than previously thought. By detailing exactly the normal, healthy brain functions over time, Strauch also explains how its optimal processes can be maintained.
A good overview; author tended to repeat some things (and it's not just my middle aged brain that noticed). Somewhere between 3 and 4 stars. Will have to read her other book about the teenage brain sometime soon.
