Our Story

We Believe in Human Potential and We Know That the Brain Can Change

For more than 40 years Arrowsmith has specialized in enhancing cognition by strengthening neural pathways in the brain.

Today, we are at the forefront of developing and using targeted cognitive exercises to drive transformational neuroplastic change. Together with our team and partners, we are dedicated to building cognitive capacity at an individual and systemic scale.

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