The Neuromantics – Episode 5 (S2)

Tempest Productions

The Neuromantics Season 2 Episode 5 The Neuromantics – writer Will Eaves and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott – return to the theme of ageing brains, this time exploring research into why some people remain cognitively intact well into their 90s and beyond. Is it simply a case of keeping our brains busy by learning new languages and musical instruments, or is there something more lobal going on? Or even social? They discover advice on ageing – and just about everything else – in the essays of 16th Century philosopher Michel de Montaigne and reflect on the challenges and even opportunities of Tier 4 lockdown.
