A cognitive scientist at Seattle University, Therese Huston, is always asking, “How can we remove the obstacles that get in the way of smart people?”

In her talks and in her latest book, Sharp: 14 Simple Ways to Improve Your Life with Brain Science (2025, Mayo Clinic Press), she blends rigorous research in neuroscience and psychology with clever, actionable strategies so you can make the most of the brain you’ve got.

  • Social Games and Dance: Keys to Brain Health in Seniors
    Dr. Huston highlights that "a social life is a long life." Engaging in activities like trivia nights and dance classes can prevent brain atrophy in seniors. Socializing outside the home and eating with others are crucial for memory and vision. Dance classes, combining physical, mental, and social skills, increase brain volume, offering a fun way to boost brain health.
