Descrip­tion: Aging baby boomers are becom­ing acute­ly aware of their own mem­o­ry laps­es. Is each case incip­i­ent Alzheimer’s or just a benign “senior moment”? …In The Mem­o­ry Bible, neu­ro­sci­en­tist Small has com­piled an amus­ing and infor­ma­tive array of self-tests, puz­zles, quizzes, and oth­er tech­niques to enhance mem­o­ry per­for­mance. He also draws upon cur­rent sci­en­tif­ic advance­ments in mem­o­ry and rec­om­mends brain-sav­ing lifestyle changes. Learn More and Order Book Here.

Title: The Sharp­Brains Guide to Brain Fit­ness: 18 Inter­views with Sci­en­tists, Prac­ti­cal Advice, and Prod­uct Reviews, to Keep Your Brain Sharp, by Alvaro Fer­nan­dez and Elkhonon Gold­berg. (Sharp­Brains Inc., 2009).

Descrip­tion: The Sharp­Brains Guide to Brain Fit­ness is an invalu­able resource to nav­i­gate grow­ing brain research and iden­ti­fy the lifestyle fac­tors and prod­ucts that con­tribute to brain fit­ness. By gath­er­ing eigh­teen of the top sci­en­tists and offer­ing insight and detailed descrip­tions of over twen­ty prod­ucts, this text is an essen­tial guide to the field of neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty and cog­ni­tive health. While most of us have heard the phrase “use it or lose it,” very few under­stand what “it” means, or how to prop­er­ly “use it” in order to main­tain brain func­tion and fit­ness. The Sharp­Brains Guide to Brain Fit­ness is designed to fill this gap. Learn More and Order Book Here.
