About BrainFit

The underlying urgency and motivation for BRAINFIT is based on cutting edge research on the aging brain.  Using advanced brain imaging technology, neuroscientists are learning about the brain's   amazing capacity for rejuvenation. When stimulated in new ways, new connections form between existing brain cells. Without these electrical/chemical connections brains cells atrophy and die. According to Dr. Lawrence C. Katz (Duke University, Medical Professor of Neurobiology), brain exercises can help stimulate this rejuvenation process by enriching and increasing the number of connections between brain cells.

Still we are working against the clock.  According to Dr. Gary Small, Director of the UCLA Center on Aging, "the tiny plaques and tangles which are the first signs of brain aging begin forming early in our adult lives, even in our twenties...and they will increase insidiously if we do nothing about them".

So given the research, we are faced with a decision.  We can do nothing, and hope genetics works in our favor, or we can start a brain exercise program now to help guard against dementia later.

The choice is ours, we can "use it or lose it".
