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

And I have aging parents, I've seen that.

So I don't know if it's also like a respect for older adults, but it's also, I mean, maybe it's, I don't want to say egocentric, but in a good way,

if we're lucky, we're gonna be there one day.

And I think it's an investment.

We invest a lot in our children and that's incredibly important and to be nurturing parents and have government that can help with education.

But I think we look the other way once people are, well, you're on social security or you're retired.

And I think culturally there's other cultures that treat older adults with more respect.

And so I don't know what the reason is.

And I teach a class on aging at UCLA.

It's a popular class, but it's not as popular as the class on relationships or things that I think younger people would be interested in.

But oftentimes after students take it, they say, I never thought I'd be interested in aging, but I'm actually, now that I think about it,

It's really interesting to see how my parents age.

And I'm like, well, give yourself 30 or 40 years and I hope you'll remember something from this class.

And I think maybe that's my early exposure made me think this is really kind of an interesting thing that happens.

And I remember with my grandparents, they would forget, get my name confused with my brother's name, but they could remember the price of bananas.

So how are they remembering this very detailed information versus forgetting things that are presumably important?

And I think it comes down to focus.

It comes down to the era you grew up in.

And so I don't see it as very different than, older adults are not different than younger adults in that they're like, that's the old and this is the new, but it's this progressive change.

And in some ways I can see in my own children, I think, what are they gonna be like when they're 80?
