2017 has been a remarkable year full of exciting scientific articles, news and results from a lot of relevant studies. By far, the biggest highlight came very recently when the life changing results of the dementia study were published on November 16th. Take some time to reflect on the fact that by completing just 18 hours of a specific cognitive training exercise rates of dementia can be cut nearly in half. I am looking forward to making 2018 the year when more health care providers take action on this.

Traumatic brain injury may cause intestinal damage
We often consider our brains to be the control centre for the rest of our bodies and this is now proving to be truer than ever, at least where our gut is concerned. A new study has found an incredibly powerful link between patients with a traumatic brain injury and damage to intestines. It also appears that this link goes both ways as a weakened colon, in turn, can negatively affect brain health directly. Learn more here.

How air pollution harms young brains

Unfortunately, during the first year of their lives millions of children are exposed to levels of air pollution that can permanently damage their brain health. To learn more about what types of air pollution negatively affect cognitive development and what positive steps we can take to prevent this, click here.

Specific Type of Brain Training Shown Effective Against Chemobrain
A research study funded by the National Institutes of health and published in the peer-reviewed journal Breast Cancer Research and Treatment shows that a specific type of brain training was able to show impact on cancer-related cognitive impairment, more commonly known as “chemobrain.” In the study, participants completed 10 hours of training in the visual speed of processing exercise “Double Decision” from BrainHQ.
