Here’s me, my brain and a 3-tesla MRI scanner.
Thanks to Helsa and Douglas Stark, I recently had the opportunity to get a full brain scan and analysis and learn more about my brain health. Here’re some of the things what I discovered:
BrainAGE: My brain’s “age” is 28, even though I’m 33. A younger brain = a healthier brain.
Whole Brain Volume: I’m in the 96th percentile! Brain volume tends to shrink as we age, so maintaining a larger brain volume is a great sign of brain health.
Hippocampus Size: My hippocampus (the memory center) is 10.4 ml, placing me in the 78th percentile. Why does this matter? Shrinkage in the hippocampus can be an early marker of dementia—often detectable more than 8 years before diagnosis.
Based on above and more data points, I got lots of valuable advise and recommendations from a neuro-doctor.
