  • E232: Willow Valley Memory Center and Brain HQ

    E232: Willow Valley Memory Center and Brain HQ
    Oct 6 2026
    E232: Don Helin, Lauren Renehan, and Dr. Henry Mahncke. This Podcast features a discussion with neuroscientist Dr. Henry Mahncke to explore the science of cognitive fitness and introduce Brain HQ at the Willow Valley Memory Center as a complimentary community resource. The conversation emphasized that the adult brain exhibits neuroplasticity, meaning it can continually reorganize, strengthen, and adapt through targeted exercises rather than deteriorating with age. Drawing from extensive National Institutes of Health studies, the experts highlighted how brief, regular engagement with digital cognitive tasks can significantly sharpen processing speed, lower the risk of dementia, and improve overall functional health. Furthermore, Willow Valley community leaders explained that local volunteers are readily available to assist residents with setup at the memory center, making cognitive wellness as accessible and routine as physical exercise.
