We’ve brought you the best in brain health for more than 20 years.

Brain health is for everyone.  

That’s why in the mid-2000s, the American Academy of Neurology launched Neurology Now, a free magazine that brought brain health out into the public eye. It made cutting-edge research easy to understand, dug into the everyday science of brain health, and shared never-before-seen stories.  

The magazine was a huge success—and it kept growing. Eventually, Neurology Now became Brain & Life, a thriving website, podcast, and book series that made brain health approachable for everyone. Soon, this exciting free resource became the leading voice on brain health.  

BrainHealth.com is our next step toward brain health for all. Resources from Brain & Life are still here, and we’ll keep publishing the same trusted advice and unforgettable stories. There’s also so much more. Explore our website, podcast, and book series—and sign up for our email newsletters to join the movement!
