Prioritizing good sleep can play an important role in maintaining brain health. Join Dr. Zsófia Zavecz, neuroscientist and sleep researcher, for an engaging lecture exploring how healthy sleep habits can help protect against cognitive decline. Learn about the latest research on the connection between sleep and dementia, including Alzheimer's disease, and how strong sleep routines may support brain resilience. You'll also get practical tips to improve your sleep and support long-term brain health.

This lecture is part of our new "Age Well" series, designed to provide valuable insights, expert guidance, and practical tools for navigating the aging journey with confidence. These programs explore key topics related to aging, from health and wellness to planning for the future, offering meaningful perspectives and resources for older adults and caregivers alike.

Dr. Zsófia Zavecz is a neuroscientist specializing in memory and sleep. Her research investigates how sleep supports memory and helps protect against cognitive decline, including in the context of Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Zavecz earned her Ph.D. in Hungary and held postdoctoral positions at UC Berkeley and the University of Cambridge before becoming an assistant professor at the University of Surrey. Bridging fundamental and applied neuroscience, her work aims to translate research findings into practical solutions that enhance cognitive health.
