The social brain: interacting our way to healthy ageing
Working with colleagues at Osaka University, Japan, Dr Sarah King will study the biological impact of social isolation and establish a new interdisciplinary model of healthy social behaviour across the lifespan. The project has been funded by The Leverhulme Trust.
Project Details

Japanese researchers are at the forefront of this area, being the first to recognise and study the impact of social withdrawal in teenagers and young adults (Hikikomori) and the benefits of social interaction and strong social structures on healthy ageing through the study of the country’s centenarians - Japan has the highest prevalence of people aged over 100 years.
