OPTIMIZING BRAIN PERFORMANCE
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.
Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Tactics (SMART™) is our proprietary brain training methodology, developed and tested by Center for BrainHealth researchers and other teams over three decades.

Making Measurable Improvements in Brain Health
- Increasing global blood flow to the brain.
- Forging new connections, and strengthen positive or weaken negative ones.
- Building cortical thickness in regions such as the frontal and parietal cortices.
- Reducing age-related brain shrinkage.
- Improving connective wiring, renovating “insulation” of the long, extended fibers connecting brain cells.
- Achieving fundamental change in brain networks, cells and molecules, including modification of gene expression.
