"People need to start thinking about their brain health earlier in life. The changes in the brain that lead to dementia can start when people are in their 30s and 40s,"
Although the evidence is still developing, we are learning that there are a wide range of lifestyle choices and activities that can improve brain health, and which in turn may reduce the risk of dementia." -- Dr Michael Valenzuela, head of the Regenerative Neuroscience Group at the University of New South Wales
'BrainyApp' is available as a free download for users of iPhone, iPod and iPad devices from the App Store.
