About Center For BrainHealth

Research shows that when we adopt healthier brain habits, cognitive function can often be enhanced or extended. In 2024, Center for BrainHealth celebrates its 25th anniversary and our continued commitment to discovering new science-backed approaches to bring to the public. This year, we are also launching the Great Brain Gain, inspiring people to focus on proactive gains rather than drains. Our goal is to empower communities to strengthen brain fitness through daily habits that make a difference.

Center for BrainHealth part of The University of Texas at Dallas is a nonprofit research institute redefining how people understand and address the brains health and performance. Our team conducts leading-edge research and creates science-backed programs that empower people to be more proactive about their own brain health.

Early results from our landmark study, The BrainHealth Project, show that 80% of participants experience a meaningful improvement in their BrainHealth Index a proprietary tool, the first holistic, science-backed measure to track improvement in brain health.
