As a research coordinator and cognitive interventionist working with people with Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, Anna Lisa Curtis created Brain's Gain programs hoping to reduce the incidence of age-related dementia.

        The Brain’s Gain programs, offered at Florida Atlantic University’s Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center, focus on ways to strengthen and protect the brain by building cognitive reserve, a buffer for insult or injury to the brain.

        Passionate about the care of the brain, Curtis regularly writes and speak on the subject.  Known to lecture for more than two hours, she has shared with audiences ranging from college students to seniors.

        Informative, entertaining and engaging, Curtis uses simple language based on current research to share practical tips to keep the brain healthy and agile for the long haul.
