Everyday Health Launches ‘Blueprint for Brain Health’ Initiative, Featuring Interactive Brain Health Assessment

The brain is the command center of the body, through which we perceive, think, remember, feel, and act. While no single part of the brain is solely responsible for any one function, certain areas play leading roles in certain tasks.

Much of what is known about the different areas of the brain comes from studying people who have had injuries or damage to those parts of the brain. With newer imaging technology, however, scientists have ways of studying the various parts of the brain in healthy, undamaged brains, to better understand how the parts work individually and in coordination with other parts of the brain.
