Brain Fitness Science
The human brain starts slowing down as early as age 25. Fortunately, you can keep it running at peak performance and even make improvements at any age. Just like your body, you can "use it or lose it". Scientists all over the world are starting to agree that stimulating the brain can improve brain power. Numerous studies show that activities such as interactive games can help maintain key cognitive functions.
Cognitive Reserve
Research has found that keeping the brain active helps build brain or cognitive reserves. This is the brain's ability to create new neural pathways and connections that can be used as a sort of 'brain savings account', allowing you to draw on the account at a later date. Studies support that many people continue to operate at a high level throughout their lives by building these brain reserves. More...
Scientific Studies
Studies now enable us to better understand each of these areas. It is clear that there are individual differences - some people are stronger in certain areas and weaker in others. The key point is we need to work on all functions to make sure all brain 'muscles' are being stimulated.
