Consumers may invest in memory training programs and books as preventative cognitive health measures. Families of Alzheimer's patients could adopt lower-cost behavioral interventions, potentially reducing demand for certain pharmaceutical treatments. Increased consumer interest in brain health and neuroplasticity-based products.
