About
Why the Brain and Memory Foundation?
In 2008, Dr Allison Lamont, PhD, published her ground-breaking research into age-related memory loss. there was world-wide interest in her findings and she has since addressed conferences in Atlanta, Edinburgh and New Zealand. She identified six key areas of memory skills that were pivotal in maintaining a confident, active and independent lifestyle in later life and it is these that form the basis of our Foundation. This knowledge was too important to keep to ourselves.
Established in 2008, the Brain and Memory Foundation launched its website in 2009 and, month by month, we plan to increase the number of resources and training materials we are able to offer you.

I’m Gillian Eadie, CEO of the Brain and Memory Foundation. As an experienced educator, I am committed to ensuring that baby boomers have all the information and knowledge they need about memory and the brain. Too many of my friends have parents and relatives who are suffering the consequences of memory loss. It is a tragedy to see people losing their jobs, losing interest and unable to manage their own lives. This does not have to happen to you!
The research of Dr. Allison Lamont, PhD, and others, has shown that brain regrowth occurs at any age. All you need to know, is HOW.
Dr. Allison Lamont, PhD, MA (Hons)
Dr. Lamont, whose research was published in 2008, says:
“Your memory is a living part of you that can grow and expand to meet the demands you make of it. Now is the time to build your memory resistance, the ‘cognitive reserve ‘ you need to have to act as a buffer against forgetting and other signs of memory loss that occur without intervention. Just as you know you need to keep physically fit to be healthy, so your brain needs exercise, too.”
In this site, you’ll find all you need to help you and your brain create the future you want for yourself: alert, focused and sharp. Articles, tests, links and resources are here to give you a healthy memory, at any age.
