The Preventing Alzheimer’s with Cognitive Training (PACT) study, led by researchers at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg, has enrolled about 7,600 older adults across multiple states to test whether brain training can actually delay or reduce dementia risk.

Big credit to the researchers and partners involved, including USF St. Petersburg and collaborating institutions, for sustaining and growing this work.
