It is not only muscles that need to be trained. The brain, just like muscles, develops only through action. And the more "pumped up" the brain is, the easier it is to capture and assimilate information. Brain fitness is called neurobics.

What is neurobics?
The name combines 2 words: "neuron" (the basic unit of the nervous system) and "aerobics." Neurobics can improve memory, activate thinking activity, and keep a clear mind by keeping the brain from degenerating.
Why does the brain degenerate?
Thinking about tasks and solutions daily ages the brain. The brain either develops or degenerates, and it needs the training to maintain intellect, attention, and memory.
A person's ability to think decreases because the dendrites (branched offshoots of neurons that receive information through chemical or electrical synapses) are depleted.
Neurons grow new outgrowths to compensate for the loss of the old dendrites. The human brain's neural networks are capable of changing and evolving at any age — you just have to help the...
