The brain changes each and every day dur­ing our whole lives, based on how we use it. Health­i­er dai­ly habits can improve the tra­jec­to­ry of our lives.

“A brain that can think crit­i­cal­ly, that can func­tion under stress, a brain that is resilient in the face of trau­ma, a brain that is cre­ative, that is thought­ful, that is social­ly active … we all need and want that kind of brain.” — Admi­ral (ret.) William McRaven, spokesper­son for Brain­Health Week

Dur­ing Brain­Health Week 2023 (Feb­ru­ary 20–24th), host­ed by the Cen­ter for Brain­Health at UT-Dal­las, you can get access to sim­ple, sci­ence-based tools and strate­gies that we can incor­po­rate into our dai­ly life. Each day’s theme focus­es on a dif­fer­ent aspect con­tribut­ing to bet­ter brain health.
