Description
Yaakov Stern published a framework paper in 2025 on why some older brains hold up better than others. Researchers use words like reserve and resilience loosely, which makes studies hard to compare. Stern's project brought experts together to give shared, working definitions for the key terms in this field.
The framework defines three ideas: cognitive reserve, brain maintenance, and brain reserve. Each is stated in terms clear enough to design a study around. The project also funded twelve pilot awards that use the definitions, and a later workshop launched joint projects on topics from exercise and stress to culture. Stern's talk reviews the framework and the work it has sparked.
