In this presentation, Dr. Hoffman explains how we are designed to live to be over 100 years old, but we can do a number of things to damage our neurological circutry neurologically. We need to tap into our hedonic center of our brain, and continue to learn throughout our lives. However, with the increase in AI into our world, this may decrease our ability to be creative and germinate curiousity.
Dr. Michael Hoffmann obtained his medical degree at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa and neurological subspecialty fellowship training in stroke from Columbia University. This was followed by two senior doctorates, one in cerebrovascular medicine (MD) and one in behavioral health (PhD). Dr. Hoffman’s main areas of research have concerned cognitive disorders after stroke and how to improve brain health and fitness based on scientific principles and evolutionary insights.
