Brain performance varies with changing seasons
With a new study from the University of Toronto showing the cognitive skills of older adults peaking in the late summer and early fall this may well be the ideal time to get those brainy, highbrow activities looked after and done! Although specific causal elements could not be identified, environmental factors such as temperature and light were thought to be likely contributors. Learn more here

Alzheimer’s: How tau protein distorts brain cell communications
Exactly what causes Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia remains unknown. Evidence suggests that a combination of environmental, genetic and lifestyle factors are involved with each of these variables having different amounts of influence on individual people. While a recent study sheds light on the buildup of tangled tau protein which is found in patients with Alzheimer’s Disease, remember that prevention is the key!

How generosity creates good vibes for your brain
We’re all familiar with the warm, fuzzy feelings experienced when we generously give to those near and dear to our hearts. And now science confirms that its far more than a fleeting sensation of momentary bliss that we’re experiencing. What we get are actual, measurable decreases in the stress levels of the amygdala, a small almond shaped structure in the brain responsible for processing emotions. Learn more here.

Science proves migraines are not just a big headache
While the stigma chronic migraine sufferers experience may have evolved with time, clinical evidence clearly shows the changing dynamics of grey matter varying by the phase, frequency and duration of migraine attacks. Study findings link grey matter changes in both the pain and visual processing areas of the brain as mediated by clinical features of individual patients. Read more here

Meditation eases pain by deactivating brain’s default network
Do you know of someone who suffers from chronic pain? A remarkable new study coming to us from the National Institute of Health shows how meditation has the ability to relieve chronic pain with better results than traditional medication! See study here


Your Brain Holds the Key to Safer Driving!
Your brain is one of the most important pieces of safety equipment when you get behind the wheel of a car. As we age, our reaction times slow down and our field of vision decreases. This means our safety on the road is also reduced. By spending only 10 hours doing the engaging driving cognitive training program you can save your life and the lives of others on the road! Learn more and try an exercise.
