How can we protect our brain from cognitive decline and how can we deal with a diagnosis of a neurodegenerative disease? In this video, Dr. Saul Martinez-Horta reviews how the brain works and the neuropsychologies of everyday life. What happens in the brain when we forget where we left our keys or what we were looking for in the kitchen? Why can some diseases that affect memory steal almost all memories, except those related to emotions? And how can neuropsychology support education in the early diagnosis of developmental, attention and language problems? These and other questions are answered by Saul Martinez-Horta, a doctor of Medicine and specialist in clinical Neuropsychology, author of the books 'Dónde están las claves' and 'Cerebros rotos', where he brings together examples of his extensive clinical experience in the field of brain damage, neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. “In neuropsychology, our object of study is what happens when the brain breaks down. Knowing what it means when a brain stops doing those things it does so that a human being functions according to how a human being is. We are archaeologists of cognitive processes, explorers who use a series of tools in an attempt to understand, for example, if memory is failing, at the expense of what is it failing? "Which of the processes involved in what we call memory can lead to a person apparently not being able to remember?" asks the doctor, who combines his work as an educator with his work and research in the Neurology Service of the Hospital Sant Pau and the direction of the Neuropsychology department of the Center for Neurocognitive Diagnosis and Intervention (CDINC) in Barcelona. #learningtogether
