How brain training works - neuropsychologist
Posted Dec 3 2007 12:20am
British neuropsychologist Dr Lauren Stewart has spoken out in favor of brain training software, warning that people can either "use it or lose it" when it comes to memory as we age.
"Learning of any kind does forge new neuronal connections," she told CNN. There are numerous examples of learning in adulthood and structural brain changes accompanying this," she said. Indeed, the more you practise certain memory tasks, the stronger the connection becomes between the memory cells in the brain. As a result, the brain works more quickly and memory comes comes more easily.
