Oram Holmes

professor

Oram Holmes is a prominent professor of psychiatry at the Rutgers Center for Advanced Human Brain Imaging Research. She leads a research team that recently conducted a significant study analyzing brain scans of nearly 20,000 women and 17,000 men from the UK. The findings suggest that parenthood may be linked to slower cognitive decline in older age, challenging the common belief that raising children negatively impacts brain health. Holmes emphasizes the importance of social connections and active engagement in parenting as factors that could enhance cognitive function.
