A three part series “Brain Matters” was held in Kenton County in the spring of 2017 that addressed the effects of brain stimulation on the health of the brain. Mental exercise was stressed to stimulate and enhance brain connection, increase blood flow, and provide new challenges that exercise cognitive functions. A follow-up survey was mailed to participants in the winter of 2018. 94% of the respondents indicated they had increased their mental exercise. Participants indicated increased socializing with family and friends, trying new experiences, utilizing mediation, engaging in word games, puzzles, reading and volunteering more to engage with others. Additionally they reported traveling by different routes to vary their routines, starting monthly meetings with friends, and reversing their routines as ways to stimulate brain activity.
