I would like to share with you a few short lines from our Dr. Merzenich. It seems a short quotation but the implications can be big if you follow it by making small changes to your regular routines be it taking a different route when driving to a friend’s house or actively paying attention to your body movements during your daily walk, run or bike ride.
"You would never exercise your brain by solving the same problem a million times using exactly the same approach to come up with exactly the same answer…"
Our free BrainHQ Daily Spark exercises can be helpful too. Give it a try and let us know if we can help any further.
Kind regards, Frieda Fanni

Dementia trigger found in the brain’s immune system
Researchers and doctors are constantly on the search for a better understanding on the causes of dementia as they develop more effective treatments. A recent study has identified a malfunction in the brain’s immune system of patients as a potential trigger for neurodegenerative disease. Could early detection of a defect in the immune cells of the brain be the key that unlocks an eventual cure? Find out more about this study and the implications on dementia patients

Some of the more common problems that people with MS suffer from are having difficulties with attention, information processing, finding the right words and memory.
