Welcome to the Brain Health Revolution podcast with your hosts, Aisha and Dean Cherzai.

We're so glad to be here with another episode. This one is going to be fun. It's just

Dean and I, and we're going to discuss the research, some of the interesting research that was conducted

in 2022. I know that this is the end of January by the time this episode goes out, but nevertheless,

it's a great opportunity to kind of take a deep dive into some of these fascinating studies

that in many ways are going to set the path for more interesting

studies and expanded ones in 2023.

This is important to us because we think that some of them, some of the studies are kind of

fun, you'll see, interesting and maybe not tremendously groundbreaking, but the rest

are important studies that are creating

the foundation going forward into 23 and beyond. And some of the technology that's coming out

will absolutely change healthcare and especially neuroscience completely. In fact, when we talk to

our medical students, we tell them that if you're going

to the field of medicine and neuroscience especially, have a different perspective because the next

five years will not look the same as the past 200 years. That's how fast we're changing.

So I hope you like some of these topics. Let's start with the one

that talks about napping and dementia. We don't want to shock them into this. So relax,

take it, you know, sit comfortably. And let's start with napping. Napping is fascinating. I remember the two

of us, we created this post for Instagram on napping, and we got a lot of

different messages from our friends in the field of neuroscience because there was no consensus,

let's just put it that way. And that is true. There have been some research done that shows that people who nap on a regular

basis may be at higher risk for cognitive impairment later on in life, but if it's done in a
