ASHEBORO
– “It’s All in Your Head: Brain Health and Wellness” is the topic of a talk by
Dr. Mike Perko at 6:30 p.m. Monday, March 20, at the Asheboro Public Library.
Perko’s
talk, sponsored by the Friends of the Library, is free and the public is
invited.
Perko,
a nationally-recognized wellness expert, says the human brain is a lifelong
work in progress, and the saying “use it or lose it” has never been more
accurate.
In
his talk, he will explore the revolution in neuroplasticity (the ability of the
brain to form new connections and reorganize itself), consider the
effectiveness of brain games and discuss strategies for incorporating brain
health into daily life.
Perko
is a professor of Public Health Education at UNC-Greensboro. He holds a Ph.D.
in health education and promotion from the University of Alabama.
He
also serves as wellness advisor to the National Rural Electric Cooperative
Association.
The
library is located at 201 Worth Street. For more information, call
336-318-6803.
