BrainHealth

The Center for BrainHealth was created in 1999 and has flourished because of its unique commitment to its mission and the most significant cause of the century: To understand, protect and heal the brain. Scientific exploration at BrainHealth is leading edge, innovative and transformative, improving lives today and changing how the public thinks and acts about the brain and its health. Most scientists focus on what is wrong with the brain. But, at the Center for BrainHealth, what is wrong is just our starting point. Our acclaimed cognitive neuroscience experts are dedicated to discovering ways to build resilience, regain cognitive function and retrain the brain to maximize the amazing potential of our most vital organ. By capitalizing on rapidly emerging brain discoveries and advanced technologies that allow deep insights into the brain, we are developing and scientifically proving which cognitive brain training therapies can capitalize on the brain's dynamic capacity to be strengthened in health and repaired after brain injury or brain disease. The hope-filled mission of BrainHealth is at the heart of all we do. We can all improve our brain's performance. We do not have to be who we are today.

Taking advantage of a unique quality known as neuroplasticity, the brain's inherent ability to adapt and change throughout life, you can train your brain for health and productivity. Harnessing the power of our frontal lobe - the part of our brain responsible for planning, reasoning, novel thinking, decision-making, judgement and managing emotions - will increase creativity, energy and focus as well as support mental independence throughout our lifespan. Just as we've come to realize that we can improve our physical health through diet and workouts, so too can we improve our cognitive health. It's a matter of committing to adopt healthy brain habits, eliminating toxic mental routines and engaging in the right mental exercises. The truth is our brain adapts from moment to moment, depending on how we use it; it either declines or improves. The direction our brain health goes depends on us and the way we challenge it - at home, work, and play.
