"Neurocore is doing just that, changing lives by improving clients' brains. We share a common vision to bring an effective, non-invasive solution for improving brain health to as many people as we can. The possibility of what we will accomplish together in the future is truly invigorating."

Dr. Fotuhi received his MD degree (cum laude) from Harvard Medical School and his doctoral PhD degree in Neuroscience from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The author of several books, including Boost Your Brain: The New Art and Science Behind Enhanced Brain Performance, Dr. Fotuhi has been featured in two PBS programs, "Conquering Memory Loss" and "Fight Alzheimer's Early." The Journal of Prevention of Alzheimer's Disease recently published the results of a study Dr. Fotuhi led assessing the outcomes of his proprietary 12-week "Brain Fitness Program."
