The surprising life of the grown-up brain. That’s the title of a call-in show tomorrow (Thursday) night that begins after the airing of a Wyoming P-B-S documentary about how our brains age. Casper neurologist Dr. David Wheeler says there is a lot of new research showing that old brains can be taught new tricks – and that keeping busy keeps brains healthy.

Dr. Wheeler is one of the experts who will be answering viewer questions. The documentary, “Gray Matters: Exploring the Mature Mind,” was produced by the Wyoming Geriatric Education Center. It airs at 7 p-m, with the call-in show immediately following at 7:30 – dial 1-800-495-9788.
Wyoming Health Fairs exercise physiologist Alice Burron will also be standing by to offer advice. Her focus is on research that shows how the body really is connected to the mind.
A-A-R-P Wyoming has held similar “Gray Matters” workshops around the state, and they’ve been so popular, 100 people were on the most recent workshop waiting list. The call-in show offers a way for more people around the state to get involved.
