    Study Notes

    • Cognitive Reserve (CR) refers to the mind’s resistance to damage to the brain.
    • Some individuals are better able to compensate for brain damage and establish alternative and efficient ways to function.
    • Those with higher CR can endure more advanced stages of dementia before their lives are impacted by the disease progression.
    • More research is needed to determine the factors that contribute to higher CR.
    • Genetics may influence overall cognitive function, but not memory.
    • Brain size may be associated with cognitive function, but not all studies support this theory.
    • Education and cognitively stimulating occupations may stall the expression of cognitive decline, but not eliminate the risk.
    • Building CR is a lifetime endeavor and requires introducing healthy and enriching environments from childhood.
    • Mind energy-intensive activities, repetition, and physical health can help build new neural pathways in the brain.
    • Lifelong learning and passion for learning can contribute to cognitive health.
