UNCA offers course on building a better brain

From a press release:

Dr. Michael S. Trayford will be teaching a contemporary brain health series through the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at UNCA starting June 17 that will take the learner through the various stages of knowledge necessary for understanding how to better care for and improve brain function.  Starting with the foundations of brain plasticity and moving towards more involved topics such as “Blood Sugar and the Brain” and “Exercise and Brain Function,” the learner will be armed with a basic but thorough understanding of the numerous influences of the environment on our brains.  More practical topics such as “Top Ten Brain Health Tips” will allow the learner to leave with practical advice for Building a Better Brain.

From prior students – “It was chock-full of information on keeping one’s gray matter sharp.” – “This course has steered me to a new pursuit, brain fitness. I feel I have more control over my mental health as I face the challenges of aging.”

For more information about this topic, please contact Dr. Michael S. Trayford at 828.708.5274 or email at mtray@hotmail.com.
