Julie Fratantoni, PhD, and Jennifer Zientz, MS, CCC-SLP, join Jim Falk, co-host of local KERA and issues-oriented television program McCuistion, to discuss how to accelerate the brain's capacity to increase your own mental ability, sharing ideas for ways you can take control your own brain health at any stage of life.
Typically, brain health is defined as the absence of disease, when we wouldn't define health for any other part of our body like that. We are defining brain health as your capacity to thrive within your life context.
The brain has a lifelong ability to improve. It’s time to reject the notion that it is “normal” for brain performance to decline with age.
Did you know that there are things you can do each day to increase or maintain your brain health and improve your focus?
Over the past three decades, research has established that the brain is the most adaptable and flexible organ – across the entire lifespan – thanks to neuroplasticity.
Did you know it's possible to boost your brain power?
A study happening in Dallas is offering tools to maximize brain health and a one-of-a-kind peek into your own brain potential.
The BrainHealth Project, happening at the Center for BrainHealth at the University of Texas at Dallas, is a landmark scientific study designed to define brain health, measure brain health with a novel, multifaceted BrainHealth Index that tracks progress toward personalized brain fitness goals, and enhance, maintain and regain brain health through proven training, self-paced activities and live coaching.
