We believe in the human potential, and we know that the brain can change.

We believe the brain is our most valuable asset and that the world is just starting to leverage it to its fullest potential. 

For more than 40 years Arrowsmith has used neuroplasticity to change and transform the brains -and lives - of people of all ages.

Together with families and organizations, Arrowsmith can strengthen the brain to help you overcome specific challenges or simply be at your best.

What is Neuroplasticity?

Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to reorganize itself, both in structure and function.

Arrowsmith uses neuroplastic principles to fundamentally improve the quality of life of individuals – at any age, and from any starting point. 

Scientifically proven targeted brain programs mean core functions like attention, problem-solving, understanding and memory can be enhanced. Profound improvements have been shown across domains of learning, performance and life. Arrowsmith’s application of neuroplasticity has the potential to change brains, and the world as we know it.

Arrowsmith is changing the trajectory of these students’ lives.

Dr. William Lancee
Researcher, University of Toronto

There is neuroplasticity as a function of Arrowsmith training, which generally improves performance. So–do precise Arrowsmith cognitive exercises activate and functionally change particular areas or networks of the brain? The answer, is yes.
