Syntagma Media is delighted to launch the latest title in our 50-site Network Magazine : Brain Boomers — Activating the Brains of Baby Boomers.

Our author is Dr. Ellen Weber, Director and CEO of the MITA Brain-Based Renewal Center in Rochester, New York, who knows a lot about the functioning of the brain. Her purpose in Brain Boomers is to show us how the brain can be kept active and flexible into old age, mainly on the principle, “use it or lose it”.

Ellen begins by setting up a competition :

What advice would a ten-year-older-you give to increase your quality of life ten years from today? Squeeze your answer into 250 words … increase our quality of life through your wisdom or wit and you win! The winner gets the game, Brain Age: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day, a game that keeps your brain sharp, and which can be quite addictive. This popular game is inspired by Dr. Ryuta Kawashima, a well known and respected Japanese neuroscientist.
