Join us for the third installment of our Brain Health Series as we explore the important connection between your senses and your brain. Changes in hearing, vision, smell, taste, touch, and even sleep can provide valuable clues about brain health and may influence memory, thinking, and overall cognitive function.<\/p>\n

Presented by Lindsey Vajpeyi, Director of Education and Support, from Insight Memory Care Center, this educational discussion will examine how sensory changes affect the brain, the growing research linking hearing and vision loss to dementia risk, and practical strategies to support healthy aging. Whether you\u2019re looking to protect your own brain health or care for a loved one, you\u2019ll leave with a better understanding of how your senses can impact cognitive wellness and what you can do to stay proactive.<\/p>\n
