Happy 2023! We hope you had a wonderful and peaceful holiday season.

Each year in January, the subject of achieving our resolutions comes up along with whether we can keep up with them. And each year, I remind myself to share Dr. Merzenich’s 3-minute podcast to help you stick to your resolutions. Dr. Merzenich explains how to strengthen the elements involved in helping you keep them.

Rest assured that BrainHQ can help you, and we have the science to back it up. If you still don’t have full access to BrainHQ, join now.

Kind regards, Frieda Fanni President DynamicBrain Inc. DynamicBrain Inc. is the Canadian partner of Posit Science Corporation since 2010 providing brain fitness program BrainHQ in English and French.

Fighting fire with fire
Living tumor cells have a unique ability to travel long distances across the brain to return to where other tumor cells are. Researchers have taken advantage of this ability to turn tumor cells into anti-cancer agents—effectively killing cancer with cancer. And that’s not all. Read how the team’s approach trains the immune system to prevent cancer from recurring.

AI and the aging brain
Artificial intelligence (AI) can be used to analyze huge amounts of data and accurately predict outcomes. Nowadays, AI is used in fields as diverse as business, astrophysics, and medicine. In the biomedical field, researchers at the University of Southern California (USC) have harnessed the power of AI modelling in the hopes of accurately identifying cognitive decline earlier than our current methods do. Learn how this promising use of AI is changing the way we do medical research.

How memories are made
A single memory is formed in not one but many regions across the brain. If that’s the case, then how do the neurons that make up a memory find each other so they can form the memory when you recall it? That’s the question neurobiologists at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) tackled with a unique experimental approach. See what they uncovered.

Healthy gut, healthy mind
Gut microbiome is the name given to the trillions of microbes that live in your intestines. Over the years, researchers have been finding that these inconspicuous microbes actually have a major effect on our bodies, with everything from digestion to immune system regulation. In a recent study from Washington University School of Medicine, researchers found that gut microbiome also has an important part to play in our brain health. See what the study says.
