We would like to send you our warmest greetings for the upcoming holidays and wish you and your loved ones the very best in 2023!

We had another inspiring year, thanks to a high number of published studies that have shown how BrainHQ can help diverse groups of people—young and old, healthy and with clinical conditions.

For those of you who still don’t have full access to BrainHQ, we’re doing our part by offering you $35 ($30 US) to spend towards a subscription for yourself or towards a meaningful gift to give to someone you care about.

Happy Holidays!

The true culprit in Alzheimer’s disease
The formation of amyloid plaques (clumps of proteins) in the brain is the telltale sign of Alzheimer’s disease. But drugs that target the build-up of amyloid plaques have shown mixed results in clinical trials, indicating that amyloid plaques may not be the true culprit in Alzheimer’s. Recently, researchers at Yale University have found what they believe to be the real reason for the debilitating symptoms of the disease. Check out their video clip and read about the discovery.

A good night’s sleep
We all know that getting a good night’s sleep can do wonders for our physical and mental health. But what determines how much sleep we need and how deeply we sleep? Scientists in Japan may have some answers. They have identified a signaling pathway in brain cells that regulates how long and how deeply we sleep. See what their research says.

The aging brain
Did you know that your brain shrinks as you grow older? Humans lose brain volume as they age, at a rate of about 5% per decade after the age of 40. But the brain doesn’t just shrink from aging. It can also shrink from chronic inflammation. For the first time, scientists have been able to differentiate between brain shrinkage caused by aging and shrinkage caused by chronic inflammation. Read how this study has broadened our understanding of the aging brain.
