Ian Robertson will review the evidence in support of the view that adult brain ageing (ages 30 plus) can and should be regarded as a journey of maturation rather than one of inexorable decline. Setting aside disease\, which becomes more common with age\, there is nothing inevitable about cognitive decline\, particularly in educated people with a healthy lifestyle. Bio. Ian Robertson is Professor Emeritus of Psychology at Trinity College Dublin. Ian was Founding Director of the Institute of Neuroscience at TCD and of the Global Brain Health Institute – a fellowship programme run jointly with University of California at San Francisco. His 600+ scientific papers on the neuropsychology of attention\, emotion and neuroplasticity have been cited more than 41\,000 times. A trained Clinical Psychologist\, he has written six best-selling books for the general reader\, the most recent being How Confidence Works: the new science of self-belief. In 2024 he was awarded an honorary Doctor of Science and an honorary MD by Trinity College Dublin. He is a member of the Royal Irish Academy and of Academia Europaea URL:https://tcdretired.ie/event/keeping-your-edge-the-neuroscience-of-smart-ageing-a-talk-by-ian-robertson/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260527T110000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260527T133000 DTSTAMP:20260511T031310 CREATED:20260506T235224 LAST-MODIFIED:20260506T235224 UID:17199-1779879600-1779888600@https://tcdretired.ie SUMMARY:Royal Canal Walk DESCRIPTION:Dear members You are invited to join a Royal Canal walk on May 27th from Leixlip Confey station to Maynooth. We will meet at 11 am outside Leixlip Confey station and walk the 8km to Maynooth. This should take just a little over 2 hours.  There are several options for lunch in Maynooth\, but nothing much on the way. Please bring comfortable shoes (but the tow path is mostly tarmac or gravel). Depending on the forecast on the day\, waterproofs may be advisable. There is a train (Maynooth line) leaving Connolly station at 10:17\, calling at Drumcondra\, Broombridge (connection with Luas)\, Pelletstown\, Ashtown\, Navan Road Parkway\, Castleknock\, Coolmine and Clonsilla). Bus options are more limited: L58 and L59 from Hazelhatch station\, L54 from Red Cow Luas but they are not very frequent. There are more buses going through Leixlip but please note that the train station is outside the town\, up  quite a steep hill!
