Huberman Lab · How to Improve Your Memory & Cognitive Function at Any Age | Dr. Alan Castel · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

And every once in a while, we have the senior scholars program that

you know, allows older adults to take these undergraduate classes.

And to me, that's probably the most enriching thing.

I teach a class on the psychology of aging and here in the classroom, there's four older adults.

I mean, this is a, you know, a case study.

And this year, several of them were therapists.

I'm like, this is, you know, they had a lot of information to share, but they're even told in the,

Part of it is that they're not supposed to ask questions.

I thought that's so strange.

In my class, I want them.

I assume if they're in astronomy or art history, they could be asking tons of questions.

But I think this is such a great way to have this kind of intergenerational component.

A lot of the students, I tell the students I have two tests, but I don't have a final exam.

And I tell them the final exam is the test of life.

I know it sounds a little corny or hokey, but I'm like, everything you learned about aging, you're hopefully going to use in the future.

Your parents might not be relevant when you're 20, you're not thinking about it.

But it was the older adults in the class that they often said were, I like to think I'm a good professor, but they learned the most from these older adults.

I think having more of this intergenerational interaction,

is really important.

And in different cultures, that's built into the community.
