On World MS Day, NAN is proud to highlight an important article from BrainWise, our free digital magazine, that explores how Multiple Sclerosis impacts cognitive function. MS can affect memory, learning, and problem-solving due to lesions in the brain’s white matter. However, lifestyle factors such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, proper sleep, and stress management can help preserve cognitive function. Cognitive rehabilitation and brain training can also improve mental sharpness. Let’s continue supporting those affected by MS and advocating for more research into its long-term effects on brain health. https://brainwisemedia.com/how-multiple-sclerosis-affects-the-brain/ #MS #multiplesclerosis #multiplesclerosissupport #multiplesclerosisawareness #msawareness (fb)

On May 19, 2025, NAN was invited to participate in the inaugural Women’s Alzheimer’s Movement (WAM) Forum, hosted by Cleveland Clinic and Maria Shriver in Las Vegas. The Forum gathered leaders to discuss Alzheimer’s disease, caregiving, and the critical role of neuropsychologists in early diagnosis and cognitive aging. As Dr. William Perry, Executive Director of NAN, shared, neuropsychologists are essential in understanding how sex differences and hormonal changes impact brain health. This event aligns with NAN’s mission to advance brain health equity and advocate for research that reflects the diverse experiences of women.
