Cognitive health has major influence on quality of life of an individual. Many factors including age, stress and life style affect cognition. Scientific research in the field has provided deep insights in details of the structural and functional changes/alteration happening during cognitive decline. However, unfortunately, very few solutions are available to prevent or mange the deleterious changes. Indian medical systems prescribe many solutions to enhance and maintain cognitive health. In the proposed workshop we will try to bring in experts from diverse disciplines which provide insights and solutions for cognitive health and wellness.
