Alzheimer’s-related Study: Brain Training Upregulates Acetylcholine

Chicago, IL – A small study could have big implications in the battle against age-related cognitive decline and dementia, according to research announced today at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference. The study was conducted by researchers at McGill University and Posit Science, and showed—for the first time ever in humans — that a particular type…

BrainHQ Assessment Predicts Brain Health

New science shows that a single brief computerized cognitive assessment—Double Decision from BrainHQ – can predict brain levels of acetylcholine—an important measure of brain health. Register to try Double Decision now! What is Acetylcholine? Acetylcholine is a molecule made in the brain that acts as a neuromodulator—a chemical that controls the overall health and function…

Jenn’s “Breakfast of Champions”

Brain Healthy Ingredients: Cruciferous vegetables & dark leafy greens, Eggs Serves: 2 Eggs are rich in choline, a key ingredient in the important neurotransmitter acetylcholine (Ach)—which facilitates communication between brain cells. Get creative! Substitute with what you have on hand—like quinoa or leftover roasted potatoes for the buckwheat. Or switch up the greens and cheeses…

The Proven Benefits of BrainHQ

Rewires the Brain BrainHQ is designed to work through brain plasticity—the process by which the brain physically changes through learning, experience, and training. Making these physical changes to the brain is key to improved brain performance. Every BrainHQ exercise challenges the brain’s speed and accuracy of information processing. Using smart adaptive algorithms, each exercise ensures…

Mixed Signals

Attention plays a remarkable role in the brain. When you pay close attention to something, your brain actually releases more acetylcholine and other chemicals. These chemicals boost your brain’s ability to learn and remember by amplifying the signals that are sent from one brain cell to another. But controlling your attention so you focus on…

Cognitive Exercises Can Help Delay the Onset of Alzheimer’s

Research on Alzheimer’s Disease mentioned in The Wall Street Journal reveals how cognitive exercises delay the onset by rewiring the brain to function more accurately. These exercises are clinically proven to improve brain activity and are provided by BrainHQ, a product of Posit Science, backed by published studies on dementia prevention and on improving standard…
