Unlock the power of neuroscience to optimize your memory so you can stay mentally sharp.
Do you feel like your memory isn’t as great as it used to be? Do you sometimes find yourself walking into a room and forgetting why? Do you misplace things more often than you used to? As we age, our memory naturally declines. But there are scientifically proven ways to enhance brain and memory function. This book, grounded in cutting-edge neuroscience, will help you get started.
The Neuroscience of Memory offers a seven-step memory improvement program based on the latest research. You’ll find powerful tools to optimize your brain and memory function, increase neural connections, and stay mentally sharp both now and in the long run. You’ll learn how to “feed your brain” with good nutrition, and how exercise can help you maintain mental acuity. And finally, you’ll discover how forming new memories is a key strategy for optimizing cognitive function, and how managing stress can help you not only think better in critical moments, but also help you keep the brain cells you have.
When you understand how your memory actually works, you are better equipped to optimize it. Whether you’re looking for ways to improve your memory while you are young, have noticed that your memory is declining as you age and want to improve it, or are looking for resources for dealing with Alzheimer’s (either for yourself or a loved one), this book will help you hold on to those treasured memories for as long as you possibly can.

Endorsements
“Surveys often indicate that adults fear one thing more than anything else: memory loss. This straightforward workbook is filled with exercises and activities designed to fire up the neuro-workings of the brain and mitigate factors that contribute to forgetfulness. Pages are filled with worksheets that encourage readers to conduct self-inventories, jot down their thoughts, respond to surveys, draw pictures, and analyze their memory-related concerns as they sharpen various brain-building skills.... Readers are also reminded that these exercises need to be repeated at regular intervals and that templates for all the worksheets are readily available for download (a feature that should extend the lives of library copies).... This practical self-help book offers encouragement, advice, and concrete steps that should reassure and empower concerned individuals.” —Booklist
