Cognitive Training and Dementia

The UsAgainstAlzheimer’s Brain Health Academy is just one week away from holding its first course of 2024. Join us for an insightful session on Cognitive Training and Dementia, scheduled for May 9th from 1-2 p.m. EDT. 

Research suggests that cognitive training can help older adults who are healthy or have mild cognitive impairment to improve cognitive health and their everyday functioning. Studies show some forms of cognitive training may help reduce or delay the development of cognitive impairment and dementia.

Hear from our expert presenter: 

Henry Mahncke, PhD, is the CEO of Posit Science. He received his PhD in the lab at UCSF, where lifelong brain plasticity was first discovered. Before Posit Science, Henry worked across biotech, medical devices, and video games as a consultant at McKinsey, and then worked with the British government on science and technology partnerships. Through his work at Posit Science, he has likely been involved in more studies of cognitive training than anyone on the planet.
