An athlete gazes triumphantly into a bright horizon.

Research shows that when we adopt healthier brain habits, cognitive function can often be enhanced or extended.

Since 1999, Center for BrainHealth has been committed to researching and publishing the latest brain health science discoveries and bringing new science-backed approaches to the public.

We celebrate our 25th anniversary with the launch of the Great Brain Gain – inspiring people to focus on proactive gains rather than drains. Our goal is to empower communities to strengthen brain fitness through daily habits that make a difference.
