elcome to the first edition of BrainMatters magazine, Baycrest Foundation's new
publication containing the latest in research and care for cognitive well-being and
healthy living.
Over the last year, you've witnessed Baycrest's commitment to lead the world in advancing the
fight against dementia through Canada's new national incubator on brain health – the Baycrest-
housed Canadian Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation (CC-ABHI).
We are setting unparalleled standards of excellence in care, research and education into brain health along the
continuum of life. Readers like you represent the people and families who invest time and resources that help us
build upon models of care not found anywhere else.
Inside these pages you'll learn more about the positive impact of mindfulness; get expert tips on healthy foods
for your brain; and get the inside scoop on an exciting new art installation that will make brain health top of mind
for Torontonians in summer 2016. We are delighted to have the Mulroneys and the Godfreys at the helm of this
ambitious initiative.
I encourage you to learn more about the work we do every day to help you live your best life.
