The life course method compares an individual's long-life and late-life behaviours to gauge one's mental decay. Arguing the life course approach is the best and simplest model for tracking mental development, Lawrence J. Whalley unlocks the mysteries of brain functionality, illuminating the processes that affect the brain during ageing, the causes behind these changes, and effective coping strategies. He also identifies the genetic factors that determine the pace of ageing and the behaviours, starting in childhood, that influence how we age, to compose an accessible book for patients, family members, and caretakers struggling to make sense of a complex experience.
