This book reviews the research trends of cognitive aging and brain health from full-scale. It not only contains cognitive agings neurophysiological mechanism, clinical research and intervention measures, but also covers cognitive agings social psychological mechanism, such as the relation between old peoples motion, socioeconomic status and the cognitive aging. Through decades of research and practice, the views towards the cognitive aging process havebeen transferred from coping with cognitive decline to promoting cognitive ability. This book provides with the latest research findings and in-depth opinions of the cognitive aging and brain health, assisting researchers to grasp the theories, practice and trends of this field, and guide health-care workers to carry out the treatment and nursing for the aged.

Dr. Zhanjun Zhang is a professor and associate director of State Key Laboratory of Cognitive Neuroscience and Learning and IDG/McGovern Institute for Brain Research, Beijing Normal University. He is also the vice president of Aging Cognitive Disorder Council of Chinese Geriatrics Society and winner of the National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars. Prof. Zhangs research focuses on cognitive aging and brain health, and he makes great efforts to establish the prevention system of cognitive impairment in late adulthood. To date, Dr. Zhang has published more than 110 research articles on international journals in this field of cognitive neuroscience of aging.
