Brain Education News from New York!



Great news! New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg proclaimed January 8th as "IBREA Brain Education Day" in recognition of the contribution that Brain Education programs have made to the health and well-being of New Yorkers.

The proclamation coincided with a seminar held by IBREA (the International Brain Education Association) at the United Nations on "Brain Education and Global Mental Health". Speakers at the seminar included Dr. Norman Doidge, author of the book, "The Brain That Changes Itself". If you haven't read this book, it has excellent examples of neuroplasticity or our ability to change brain structures and functions even after brain damage or due to aging.
