In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Charles Hillman, a Professor in the Department of Psychology and the Department of Physical Therapy, Movement, and Rehabilitation Sciences at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. Dr. Hillman is also the co-director of the Center for Cognitive and Brain Health, which focuses on understanding how lifestyle choices and behaviors impact brain health and cognition.
Throughout his career, Dr. Hillman has published over 300 articles and co-edited a text on Functional Neuroimaging in Exercise and Sport Sciences. He has also served on numerous committees, including the Institute of Medicine of the National Academies and the Health and Human Services Physical Activity Guidelines for American's Scientific Advisory Committee.
In this conversation, we delve into Dr. Hillman's research on how lifestyle choices such as physical activity and diet impact brain health and cognitive function. We also discuss the mission of the Center for Cognitive and Brain Health and its research on how to maximize health and well-being and promote effective functioning for individuals across the lifespan.
Join us as we explore the fascinating research of Dr. Charles Hillman and his team at the Center for Cognitive and Brain Health.
