Here in eastern Ontario in Canada, we’re looking forward to Fall Rhapsody—an event where we celebrate nature’s magnificent display of fall colours while walking through the woods and nurturing our body and mind!

Whether you’re a healthy aging adult, an individual with clinical conditions, or simply someone wanting to enhance their career, take advantage of the natural beauty of this autumnal back-to-school season by getting back into your regular physical exercises and BrainHQ training.

If you still don’t have full access to BrainHQ training, join now.

Kind regards,

Just like riding a bike
If you have kids or grandkids, you’ll have noticed how uncoordinated their movements are when they’re first learning to ride a bike or play a musical instrument. With practice and determination, they’ll eventually master these skills. Developing these sorts of movement skills relies on motor memory—a kind of streamlined communication between mind and muscle. At the cellular level, how does this motor learning actually work? That’s the question one team, led by a University of Ottawa researcher, sought to tackle. Learn what the team discovered.

A father’s brain
Becoming a father is a life-changing experience. Welcoming a new human being into this world can bring about fundamental changes to your life priorities, not to mention your daily routine. Many studies have examined how the female brain changes after a woman gives birth and starts raising a child, but little attention has been given to the male brain. Does adapting to the life-altering experience of fathering a child change the male brain on a physical level? A group of researches explored this question using MRI scans of new fathers. Check out what their analysis revealed.

What’s really behind the craving?
Some fatty foods are irresistible—a fresh buttery croissant, well-aged cheese, or soft ice cream. Yet, they may not be the healthiest nutritional choice. You may be tempted to blame your tastebuds for the allure of fatty foods because of how delicious they taste. But before you blame your tongue for craving fat, read what one investigation says might be behind our drive for fatty foods.

How nature nurtures
Over the years, more people have been moving to cities. Despite the improved educational, healthcare, and employment opportunities urban living has brought to many, living in a city has also led to an increase in stress-related mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. We’ve often heard that a walk in the woods or along a river can make us feel restored and centred again after a stressful day in the downtown office. But why exactly is that so? A new study sought to find out how a walk in nature impacts the brain. Learn what the results suggest.

Regulating illness symptoms
When you get ill, you tend to show symptoms like fever, aches, and nausea. Producing these symptoms is your body’s way of fighting what’s causing the illness. What happens in the brain to regulate these illness symptoms is unclear. In an effort to shed light on this topic, researchers studied the brains of mice with illness symptoms. Find out what their research uncovered and what it means for humans.


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!
