Good one! A very interesting and enlightening explanation for how a few civilizations managed to conquer all the others, and why the world turned out like it did.

Hello Everyone,

As the wife of someone who could not avoid assisted living, assisted living for the memory impaired, and now a nursing home, I've been asked to attend this meeting and share my experience. I'll be happy to do so. However, if someone from Saunderstown will be attending, I'd love to ride along.
thanks,
Michele Leavitt

Great time. The guide was very knowledgeable and even though this was the her last tour of the day she was very patient with her group of seniors.

Laurie’s report went in depth on the importance of challenging your brain as part of a holistic approach to staying mentally sharp that includes eating a healthy diet, getting physical exercise, and staying emotionally and socially engaged.

There is now a broad body of evidence that challenging your brain re-wires your neurons and with the right challenge you can speed up and make more accurate your brain’s responses. The research also shows that memory (read the IMPACT study here http://www.scribd.com/doc/1788... and a number of other real-world measures (read http://bit.ly/JAMA_Paper for a paper in the Journal of American Medicine) also improve just like physical fitness gets better with exercise. And everyone is capable of improving. So whether you want to improve your ability to improve reaction time on the tennis court, stop faster to avoid a crash caused by a distracted driver, or remember new friends’ names, you can do it. The next step is to take action.

Posit Science, where I am CEO and Dr. Mike Merzenich is Chief Science Officer, makes scientifically-validated and engaging software that can help you think faster, focus better and remember more. Over 30 clinical studies from institutions like the Mayo Clinic and Johns Hopkins show that our technology can have a range of benefits from improved memory to lowered health care costs to improved driving safety.
