Preventing dementia starts with daily decisionsOhio State neuropsychologist Jeremy Grant explains how activity, diet and sleep can slow decline and boost resilience.

Ohio State initiative aims to help community improve brain healthThe Ohio State University Cognitive Health in Late Life (CHILL) Lab has launched an initiative encouraging Ohioans to adopt lifestyle changes to improve their brain health. The program, based in the College of Arts and Sciences, is also seeking community members to participate in a new study that aims to provide an overview of the state of brain...

#blackhistorymonth #endalz | Alzheimer's Association®For Jeremy Grant, Ph.D., Alzheimer’s disease is not a distant scientific challenge—it is deeply personal. It has touched both sides of his family: his grandmother and grandfather had the disease, and he has an uncle living with Alzheimer’s today. “Seeing firsthand the vastly different disease courses within my own family sparked a desire to better understand how genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors influence dementia risk and progression.” As he moved into his graduate studies, these personal experiences merged with what he was witnessing in real time: individuals in disadvantaged communities facing unequal health outcomes, including heightened dementia risk. Today, Dr. Grant’s work is powered by both scientific rigor and a deep sense of purpose. “I am motivated by the opportunity to help people live longer, healthier and more abundant lives.” His research not only advances knowledge, it empowers communities. 💜 Join us in celebrating Dr. Jeremy Grant for his leadership, passion for improving brain health equity. #BlackHistoryMonth #ENDALZ

Thank you to Stacey Lipio Brothers and everyone at the clinic who contributed their amazing ideas to this project. I had many valuable discussions about subjective memory measures and neuropsychological assessment throughout the poster session, and I’m excited to take these ideas and turn them into something more. These past three days have been an incredible experience, and it was truly inspiring to see the outstanding research happening in this field. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn from many professional neuropsychologists, cultivate new connections, and expand my knowledge as I prepare for graduate school.

#aaawa #uarc | Jeremy G. Grant, Ph.D.So proud of my team! Last week, we officially wrapped up data collection on our first research study as a lab. In 2025, we conducted cognitive screenings on 300+ individuals, who also shared info regarding their social determinants of health and their perspectives about participating in research. Special thanks to the Alzheimer's Association®for funding this work, and thanks to the Alzheimer's Association Central Ohio Chapter, African American Male Wellness Agency, Columbus Public Health , and all the other local organizations, faith communities, and healthcare providers who partnered with us. #AAAWA #UARC Looking forward to sharing our findings in 2026!

We found that Black men with suboptimal cardiovascular health showed meaningful improvements in memory after a six-month intervention. A huge thank-you to Dr. Grant for making this work possible, and to everyone who helped make the event such a success. I truly enjoyed discussing our findings and connecting with so many passionate researchers. Pursuing a career pathway in neuropsychology has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m excited to continue growing in this field every day.

Our study found improved memory outcomes among Black men with suboptimal cardiovascular health after a six-month intervention. This was a meaningful experience to share our work and engage with others committed to advancing cardiovascular and cognitive health!

I learned so much about brain health and was grateful to help spread positivity to those living with Alzheimer’s and their caregivers. I’m continually inspired by the clinicians and researchers working every day to end Alzheimer’s. Thank you to all who put so much effort into making this event possible.

My Top 3 Takeaways from #AAIC25: | Jeremy G. Grant, Ph.D.My Top 3 Takeaways from #AAIC25: 📈 1. Research participants are so much more than data points. The testimonies from the U.S. POINTER Study participants reminded us that behind every data point is a human story. We need to celebrate and support people who go through major life milestones during and after enrolling in a study: gains, losses, tragedies, and new beginnings. Let’s center people, not just protocols. ⏳2. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is still a critical window for intervention. While advancements in biomarker science are making it possible to diagnose (and hopefully treat) Alzheimer’s long before clinical symptoms appear, it’s as important as ever to have secondary prevention options ready for people in later stages of the disease. 🤝 3. The best science is team science. I heard this African proverb multiple times during the conference: “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” The most impactful work happens when everyone brings their unique expertise to the table and we care less about who gets the credit. Thank you to the Alzheimer's Association® for an outstanding conference and for the research support. It was amazing to be back home this week! 🇨🇦 #EndAlz #AAIC2025 #AlzFunded #BrainHealth
