Think Brain Health


​Your brain is the most complex thing in the universe. Billions of cells working together to control your emotions, memories, movement and speech. It’s what makes you ... you.
But many of us take our brains for granted.

Just as we can protect other areas of our health, we can take steps to keep our brains healthy and reduce our risk of developing dementia later in life.

Think Brain Health is an ongoing celebration of everything our incredible brains do for us and a guide to the simple things we can do to protect them in return.

How well do you know your brain?
