Take Your Brain to Boot Camp:

Boot camp sounds like the perfect place to send that mouthy brat who used to sit in the back row constantly disrupting class. But Gary Small, MD, isn’t exactly a drill instructor from Parris Island: He’s slender, smiles, wears glasses, and doesn’t have a haircut so close and flat that you could land a jet fighter on it. He won’t even yell “Maggot! Git down and gimme 20!” Yet Small, professor of psychiatry at UCLA and director of the UCLA Center on Aging is just as serious as a typical Marine DI about his two-week memory boot camp."
