Thank you to our sponsors, community partners and volunteers for wiring the connections that powered BrainHealth Week 2025!
OUR TAKEAWAYS FROM THE WEEK
1
Each of us can gain agency over our own brain health.
90% of people know the brain can change, but only 30% know how to take agency over their own brain health. Each year during BrainHealth Week, leaders at Center for BrainHealth call for a “brain fitness revolution” — sharing simple steps that empower communities to strengthen brain fitness through daily habits that make a difference.
2
Neuroplasticity is possible at every life stage.
The brain is capable of high levels of neuroplasticity in its second, third, fourth decade, and beyond, in ways that researchers are just beginning to unravel. The brain has uncharted potential to improve across the lifespan — with gains in confidence leading to start taking better care of our brain health.
3
Making brain gains is about "you against you."
The challenge is to outperform ourselves, and adopting a “can do” mindset is essential. Practicing habits that foster self-belief makes a transformative difference — each small step helps us become more confident, with gains in confidence leading to new opportunities to learn and thrive.
4
Measuring brain health motivates improvement.
If we cannot measure brain health, we cannot measure improvements. New studies quantify how people who follow brain-healthy strategies demonstrate continuous improvement regardless of where they start. Our BrainHealth Index is empowering today’s research to capture and continue the positive effects of our evidence-based brain health strategies.
5
Collaboration is essential to advance brain performance.
Precision brain health requires working across disciplines, learning the best ways to serve brain health in different contexts. Emerging research focused on the potential of the female brain may unlock understanding about brain science that could benefit all of humanity.
Technology can empower precision brain health.
We are on the cusp of a neuro-technology revolution, bringing us closer than ever to sharing the keys to precision brain health. Having accessible and easy-to-use tools is essential to harnessing the agency all of us have — to take steps that can promote, protect and preserve our brain health across the lifespan.
Making time to appreciate art is good for brain health.
Focusing on a work of art helps us practice new ways of seeing. When we take time to carefully observe art and explore creative ways of thinking, we engage the brain in one of its most fundamental learning processes.
HIGHLIGHTS FROM OUR RESEARCHERS
We demonstrated improvements in attention, working memory, and speed of processing from light-based brain stimulation . This promising technology has potential for individuals undergoing recovery from a brain injury or early-stage dementia.
Dan Krawczyk, PhD
Our Brainomics research with Momentous School is revealing the lifelong economic benefits of teaching students how to optimize their brain performance early on. A low-cost, proactive approach to building brain health can yield extraordinary returns in personal thriving and economic trajectories.
Andrew S. Nevin, PhD
The Filbey Lab published a widely recognized study demonstrating that the e ects of cannabis on memory are mediated by its impact on sleep — an important finding covered by media like the Dallas Morning News. Additionally, we were awarded funding by the National Institute on Drug Abuse to investigate how group therapy works in the brain to treat substance use.
Francesca Filbey, PhD
This spring I completed my PhD, and now I am continuing my work as the Donald Bloom Mental Health Promotion Fellow to develop and deliver evidence-based brain health tools and education to promote mental wellness across communities.

ROUSE
AWARD: CELEBRATING TEACHER EXCELLENCE
The 2025 Rouse Teacher Excellence Award was presented to Misty Fernandez, an 8th grade English/Language Arts teacher at Rogers Middle School in Prosper ISD. The award, made possible by longtime supporters Sandy and Tommy Rouse, recognizes an outstanding teacher for their depth of knowledge and successful implementation of Strategic Memory Advanced Reasoning Tactics (SMART) brain training.
According to Fernandez, “SMART has helped me be more intentional in my lesson plans and help my students process information and learn more effectively.”
In addition, the inaugural 2025 Jacqueline Gamino Lifetime BrainHealth Educator Award went to Tracy Curry, who has been implementing SMART in her classroom at S&S Consolidated High School in Sadler, Texas for the last 15+ years.
CULTIVATING THE NEXT GENERATION OF BRAIN HEALTH CHAMPIONS
The BrainHealth Scholars program is a four-week, interdisciplinary summer internship designed for undergraduate and graduate students to explore the science of brain health through immersive, hands-on learning. Its mission is to cultivate future leaders who champion brain-healthy habits to enhance performance and well-being.
The 2025 cohort, named for Todd Platt, was made possible by a gift from Candy and Ike Brown, and also marked the introduction of the Kim Jordan Program Coordinator role — further enriching the experience for a diverse group of curious, high-achieving students.
I joined this program not just because of my passion for brain health, but because I’ve seen how often people value brain-healthy practices without actually applying them. Through this experience, I’ve learned how to take real, actionable steps to improve my own brain health. More than that, I’ve come to see how wonder and awe can fuel purpose. I want these practices to not only enhance my well-being but also inspire me to seek out what energizes and excites me in life.
Luke Santoni
At Center for BrainHealth, we believe research should not only advance knowledge — it should improve lives. In 2025, we took a major leap toward that vision by entering into two new commercial licensing agreements that are already translating our decades of research into practical tools with real-world impact.
The first, xponetiq, is a mobile app by 21Impact Labs, Inc., that empowers individuals to build brain-healthy habits through personalized cognitive training. The second, GoMo Health, integrates our science into care plans that help patients make more informed and confident decisions about their health. These partnerships demonstrate how our commitment to science is shaping a healthier, more resilient future — one person, one brain at a time.
Highlights of Our New Commercial Applications:
xponetiq
• Delivers bite-sized brain training informed by BrainHealth research
• Promotes focus, mental flexibility and emotional balance
• Encourages long-term habit formation through gamified engagement
GoMo Health
• Provides patients with tailored, brain-informed care plans
• Improves decision-making through micro-learning and nudges
• Supports caregiver communication and patient empowerment
While these commercial applications support the center’s financial stability, the greater benefit is the expanded reach of our work. Partnering with the private sector in these and future endeavors will help us achieve our core mission of bringing science-based brain health habits and practices to everyone.
Sincerely,
Stephen B. White, JD Chief Operating O cer
