The number of seniors in Canada is growing rapidly. In 2031, persons older than 65 years of age will represent 25% of the Canadian population. Understanding the cognitive and brain changes that occur during aging is thus critically important. Remarkably, some older adults are more resistant to brain aging. Dr. Belleville wants to understand how and why this occurs. Her work will contribute to the understanding of how memory and the brain change and adapt with age, and will open ways to novel prevention strategies for older Canadians who are concerned about their cognitive health.

加拿大老年人的数量正在迅速增长。到2031年，65岁以上的人口将占加拿大人口的25%。因此，了解衰老过程中发生的认知和大脑变化至关重要。值得注意的是，一些老年人对大脑衰老的抵抗力更强。贝尔维尔博士想要了解这种情况如何以及为何发生。她的工作将有助于理解记忆和大脑如何随年龄变化和适应，并为关心认知健康的加拿大老年人开辟新的预防策略。
