Exercising Our Brains: Classes in San Francisco

October 18, 2006 by Alvaro Fernandez

For any­one in the San Fran­cis­co Bay Area, we are offer­ing a cou­ple of lectures through the Osh­er Life­long Learn­ing Insti­tute, titled: Exer­cis­ing Our Brains: New Brain Research and Impli­ca­tions for our Lives.

Descrip­tion: Neu­ro­sci­en­tists have final­ly shown that, at any age, our men­tal activ­i­ty can influ­ence the gen­er­a­tion of new neu­rons and their con­nec­tions, with clear guide­lines to fol­low. You have prob­a­bly heard “Use it or lose it”. Lat­est research indi­cates, “Use it and improve it!”. In this lec­ture-class, we will com­bine both research and fun group activities.

1) Mon­day, Novem­ber 6, 6:30–8:00pm
SFSU Down­town Cen­ter, 425 Mar­ket at Fremont

2) Thurs­day, Novem­ber 16, 6:30–8:00pm
St. James Epis­co­pal Church
4620 Cal­i­for­nia Street (between 8th and 9th Avenue)
Here you have more infor­ma­tion on our Sem­i­nars for orga­ni­za­tions and our new The Sci­ence of Brain Health and Fit­ness class at UC-Berke­ley OLLI.
