Blair BradenGUEST
So one way that I'm starting to think about, you know, how does neurodevelopment intersect with brain aging is in the aging field, we've long known that some people accumulate brain Lots of Alzheimer's associated plaques and tangles and other types of neurodegenerative features that you can see at autopsy.

Blair BradenGUEST
And there's this kind of like hand wavy explanation that we've used for years called cognitive reserve.

Blair BradenGUEST
And this just means that some people have some amount of reserve in their brain that allows them to overcome the insults associated with neurodegeneration.
