Talking about brain health
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 (thought to be a natural neuro-protectant).
Passionate about the care of the brain over the course of the lifetime, Curtis regularly writes and speak on the subject. She has been known to lecture for more than two hours to audiences that range from college age to seniors in their 90’s.
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.
