Via Cognitive Health will launch Lifelong Learning Courses in partnership with Augusta University beginning Sept. 10.
Courses are offered in five-week sessions for one hour per week and will be instructed by Augusta University professors, according to a news release.
“Staying mentally active is key to brain health as we age. In Georgia, over 188,000 people live with Alzheimer’s or related dementias. The recent groundbreaking U.S. POINTER study shows that exercise, healthy eating, social connection, and lifelong learning can significantly improve brain health. Via’s engaging set of weekly lectures will help keep minds sharp and cognitively stimulated,” the release said.
The fall lecture series will be from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. and 10:45 to 11:45 a.m. on Wednesdays through Oct. 8. Session 2 will begin Oct. 15.
Session 1 features Dr. Maleah Winkler Dr. Nicole Peritore, and Dr. Daniel Greene. Topics will include the ketogenic diet, insomnia and mental health, and topics on health. Dr. Guido F. Verbeck and Dr. Rafael Rocha Pacheco will cover innovations in technology with forensic science, how drones fit in the public landscape, biomarkers for health and other facets of technology.
