Cognitive Strategy Training
TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR BRAIN HEALTH
Decades of research show that science-backed strategies improve brain health.
Learning and practicing behavior modification strategies through cognitive training can have a powerful effect on thinking, memory, attention and mood, improving quality of life and ability to adapt to circumstances.

SMART brain training tracks measurable changes and improvements in brain health, including:
- Increase global blood flow to the brain.
- Forge new connections, and strengthen positive or weaken negative ones.
- Build cortical thickness in regions such as the frontal and parietal cortices.
- Reduce age-related brain shrinkage.
- Improve connective wiring, renovating “insulation” of the long, extended fibers connecting brain cells.
- Achieve fundamental change in brain networks, cells and molecules, including modification of gene expression.
