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.
While the Brain and Memory Foundation was established in clean, green New Zealand, our interested community of followers live in many different parts of the world. Both Allison and Gillian regularly travel abroad to promote the aims of the Foundation and we would love to assist you in any way we can.
The University of Oxford in the UK is planning a research project using our memory training products and we are both very excited about that!
About the Author:
Gillian Eadie, M.Ed, BA, DipTchg, LTCL, Churchill Fellow, HFNZCS
Gillian is an award-winning educator whose career includes 20 years as a school principal in prestigious private schools. She has established the Brain and Memory Foundation with her sister, Dr. Allison Lamont, PhD, MA (Hons), whose research into age-related memory loss has been internationally acclaimed and published by Verlag in 2008.
Their articles, books and memory programmes are scientifically based on Dr. Lamont’s research findings. They focus on the key skills needed to keep brains active, alert and growing at any age. Jeanie, their mother, had Alzheimer’s and seeing the devastating impact Alzheimer’s has on families has motivated both daughters to urge all baby boomers to take steps, while brain skills are intact in their 50′s, to develop the cognitive reserve that will buffer them against memory loss later in life. Gillian and Allison are baby boomers themselves, have addressed international conferences and have achieved book sales of “Seven Second Memory” in USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Europe, Zambia and New Zealand.
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 and 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.”
