Save that thought
Estimates show 1.7 million Canadians will be living with dementia by 2050. How can we change this dire scenario?
At Baycrest, the Kimel Family Centre for Brain Health and Wellness is the world’s first research-based community centre dedicated to reducing dementia risk and examining the benefits of personalized brain health programming.
Our Neuro Network’s motto is SAVE THAT THOUGHT and our group is on a mission to advance the work of the Kimel Family Centre. Members invest $18,000 over three years to support research on interventions and strategies to prevent or slow dementia. Members have access to:
- Five private science talks per year with leading neuroscientists on the latest breakthroughs
- VIP tours of the Kimel Centre and Baycrest’s world-class research labs
- Exclusive exposure to cutting-edge dementia prevention research
- Recognition on Baycrest campus and in special communications
Together, we will achieve breakthroughs on how we age. Be part of the movement to defeat dementia and promote lifelong brain health.

Sleep, Memory & Dementia Prevention: How Sleep Cleans and Protects Your Brain
Renowned cognitive neuroscientist Dr. Allison Sekuler is reshaping how we understand sleep and the aging brain. As President and Chief Scientist of the Baycrest Academy and the Centre for Aging and Brain Health Innovation, and twice named one of Canada’s 100 Most Powerful Women, she reveals how deep sleep acts as the brain’s overnight cleaning system, clearing out the waste linked to dementia. She is joined by Dr. Brian Levine, a neuropsychologist and senior scientist at the Rotman Research Institute, whose groundbreaking research shows that a single night of sleep can strengthen a memory for a full year.
