Brain training, Brain Blood Flow and Dementia
Brain training is a fun and simple intervention to keep minds active in older age.
However, there are many unknowns. What benefits does it have on the brain? And can people living with dementia realistically brain train using technology they’re not necessarily familiar with? Lucy is an NIHR Academic Clinical Lecturer in Geriatric medicine with an interest in cognitive disorders at the University of Leicester. She is particularly interested in how brain blood flow is altered or damaged in dementia and how this contributes to the development or progression of different types of dementia. In particular she has studied and investigated the use of cognitive or “brain training “as a treatment for Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment and as prevention in healthy older adults.
