Brain and Memory Foundation Information

Gillian is an award-winning educator whose career includes 20 years as a school principal in prestigious private schools. She has established the Brain and Memory Foundation with her sister, Dr. Allison Lamont, PhD, MA (Hons), whose research into age-related memory loss has been internationally acclaimed and published by Verlag in 2008. Their articles, books and memory programs are scientifically based on Dr. Lamont's research findings. They focus on the key skills needed to keep brains active, alert and growing at any age. Jenny, their mother, at 93, has Alzheimer's and seeing the devastating impact Alzheimer's has on families has motivated both daughters to urge all baby boomers to take steps, while brain skills are intact in their 50's, to develop the cognitive reserve that will buffer them against memory loss later in life. Gillian and Allison are baby boomers themselves, have addressed international conferences and have achieved book sales of “Seven Second Memory” in USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Zambia and New Zealand.
