More specifically, he worked on longitudinal studies to determine the beneficial role of vitamins and natural supplements in maintaining cognitive function and brain health. His recent research on the effects of aging on the brain has shown that baby-boomers can indeed increase the size of their hippocampus, the part of brain that is critical for short term memory.

His articles have been cited by thousands of scientists around the world.

Dr. Fotuhi has dedicated much of his time to educating the public about issues related to memory and aging. He has been the visiting professor and keynote speaker for conferences in China, Japan, Canada, Israel and other countries around the world.

His second book, The New York Times Puzzles to Keep Your Brain Young: The 6-Step Age-Defying Program, is the focus of his popular PBS program called Fight Alzheimer's Early. He has been interviewed and featured in Boston Globe, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, ABC News, CNN, Discovery Channel, Forbes, USA Today, and The Dr. Oz Show.
