free live private Zoom event.The Stimulated Mind: Future-Proof Your Brain
from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age
Please join UCLA’s Friends of the Semel Institute and the Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital Board of Advisors for a compelling conversation on cognitive longevity, brain health, and the science of staying mentally sharp throughout life.Tommy Wood, MD, PhD, author of The Stimulated Mind Future-Proof Your Brain from Dementia and Stay Sharp at Any Age will be joined in conversation by Jason Hinman, MD, PhD, Director of the Mary S. Easton Center for Alzheimer’s Research and Care at UCLA.Discover how to boost your mental sharpness today and protect your brain for decades with science-backed strategies that expand cognitive longevity far beyond what most people believe is possible. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience and practical clinical insights, Dr. Wood challenges the myth that cognitive decline is an inevitable part of aging and reveals how the brain can continue to adapt, strengthen, and even improve over time.A physician, neuroscientist, and performance coach for Formula 1 drivers, Dr. Wood offers an evidence-based roadmap for maintaining mental clarity, supporting brain resilience, reducing the risk of neurodegenerative disease, and thriving cognitively at any age.Filled with clear explanations, actionable tools, and empowering science, The Stimulated Mindpresents a realistic path toward true cognitive longevity—helping your brain stay adaptable, resilient, and high-performing for years to come.BIOS:Tommy Wood, MD, PhD, is a neuroscientist and performance consultant to world-class athletes across multiple sports. He earned degrees in biochemistry (University of Cambridge), medicine (University of Oxford), and a PhD in physiology and neuroscience (University of Oslo).He is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics and Neuroscience at the University of Washington School of Medicine, where his research focuses on brain health across the lifespan, from preterm infants to adults with brain injury, and factors influencing long-term cognitive function and dementia risk.Dr. Wood has published over 100 scientific papers, lectures internationally on brain health, metabolism, and performance, and has consulted Olympians, world champions, and Formula 1drivers. He is a co-founder of the British Society for Lifestyle Medicine.
