Brain Training

Brain Training is the conscious act of exercising the brain.  In the same way that we understand the benefits of exercising the body, neuroscience is now discovering how important it is to actively challenge the brain.

Brain Training can take many forms and consists essentially of undertaking novel activities that continually challenge the limits of the brain. When completing novel activities, the brain forms new connections between the brain cells [neural connections] and can grow new brain cells [neurogenesis].  This process of growing new cells and connections whereby the brain changes is known as neuroplasticity.  Up until recently, it was believed that the number of brain cells that each person had was a fixed number, however research is demonstrating that at all ages we are able to develop the brain.  There is strong scientific evidence to support the statement ‘use it or lose it’ as the brain is a great housekeeper and prunes away connections that are not actively used.
