Many of us fear that our alertness and cognition may not follow today’s life expectancy—that is, our physical body and brain health might not be aligned. Yes, I’m talking about dementia.

Following strong evidence from previous studies on how training on BrainHQ for 14 to 18 hours reduces the risk of dementia by 48%, researchers just reported in a randomized controlled study that a relatively small amount of brain training works too!

Here is an informative quote from our Dr. Mahncke:

“Brain exercise is often compared to physical exercise and it’s similar in that more is generally better. However, unlike physical exercise, just 10 hours of brain training can make a significant difference, both immediately and many years later. That’s because, as studies have shown, BrainHQ rewires the brain in a manner that has strong impact and long persistence.”

Please help us raise awareness about dementia and brain health by sharing this information before another loved one is diagnosed!

Blood pressure predicts brain health
Did you know that your blood pressure in your 30s could play a role in your brain health later in life? A new study from the University of California, Davis, has uncovered a startling link between high blood pressure in your 30s and poor brain health in your 70s. These findings are a wake-up call for anyone who thinks that high blood pressure only affects their heart health. Read on to find out more about this ground-breaking study.

Forming false memories
Are you ever certain you remember something, only to have someone else tell you it never happened? You’re not alone. A new study has revealed that our brains are surprisingly adept at creating false memories, often faster than we might think. If you’ve ever been convinced you remember something that didn’t actually happen, you won’t want to miss reading this study.

Brain scans reveal surprising obesity differences
The secret to understanding obesity may be hiding in your brain. According to a recent study that compared brain MRIs and health questionnaire data for adults between 18 and 55, obesity affects different parts of the brain depending on whether someone is male or female. Find out what the study says about the gender-based brain differences of obesity.

Defining the subtypes of autism
Autism affects millions of people worldwide, and scientists believe there are probably many different types of autism. New research using machine learning to analyze neuroimaging data from over 1,000 individuals has highlighted a new approach to discovering the subtypes of autism. Check out this article to see what this could mean for the future of autism research.

Link between OCD and the brain’s “helper” cells
If you or someone you know struggles with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), you won’t want to miss this exciting new development. Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have some fascinating new insights to share about the condition. Their surprising findings shed light on the way astrocytes—a type of cell characterized as the brain’s “helper” cells—may be involved in repetitive behaviours and OCD. Read more about what their findings have to tell us.


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!
