DALLAS -- Researchers once believed that a person’s IQ was a fixed number that couldn’t be adjusted over a lifespan. But the past 20 years of neuroscience research have revealed that the brain is one of the most changeable parts of the body, according to Dr. Sandra Bond Chapman, founder and chief director of the University of Texas at Dallas’ Center for BrainHealth.
The center’s researchers conducted a national survey that found 95% of participants believed they could change their brain – but only 30% understood how to start. The findings have sparked a health revolution with the brain as its main focus.
And so the Center for BrainHealth has launched “BrainHealth Week,” which runs Feb. 20-24, as a way to inspire a conversation about brain health.
