September is Healthy Aging Month 🧠
Throughout the month, we’ll be sharing practical, science-backed tips from our own work and the broader field of cognitive aging—simple strategies you can use every day to support lifelong brain health.
🧠 Healthy Cognitive Aging vs. Warning Signs
In this article, CASH Lab Director Dr. Curtis explains typical healthy changes, the red flags to watch for, and how they’re evaluated.

Had a great time presenting at the @USFHealthMed Sleep Medicine Research Lecture series today. I shared new updates from my Women's Health Collaborative funded study examining sex-specific sleep & pain risk factors for cognitive dysfunction across menopause.
Disseminating our science is one of the best parts of what we do!
Big week for SHINE Science at #SLEEP2025!
✨ The @CASHlabUSF's Dr. @ashleyfcurtis, doctoral candidate Amy Costa and graduate researcher Susan Rodriguez shared new findings on cognitive training, sleep, alcohol use, cardiovascular health and sex differences in aging.
