SharpBrains in Scientific American Mind/ Brain Health Blog and Newsletter

We were very hap­py to dis­cov­er that Sci­en­tif­ic Amer­i­can Mind has high­light­ed Sharp­Brains in their June/July 2007 issue!

Here’s what they had to say:

“Every­one knows the impor­tance of stay­ing phys­i­cal­ly fit. But what about stay­ing men­tal­ly fit? Research in the past sev­er­al years has shown that men­tal “workouts” may improve mem­o­ry, relieve stress and even help stave off Alzheimer’s. This new site is an online gym for the mind, offer­ing a blog about the sci­ence of brain fit­ness and links to rel­e­vant research. It also sells “exercise” soft­ware and offers per­son­al training.”

If you are here due to that intro­duc­tion, we’d like to wel­come you and show you around a bit. You might enjoy:
