Cognitive Training
By improving the way we think, we can intentionally and measurably:
Improve global blood flow to the brain
Boost blood flow to key strategic regions such as the frontal lobes
Forge new connections and strengthen positive or weaken negative ones
Increase cortical thickness in regions such as the frontal and parietal cortices, and reduce age-related brain shrinkage
Improve the brain’s connective wiring by renovating the “insulation” of the long, extended fibers connecting brain cells
Achieve all of the above through fundamental change in the networks, cells and molecules of the brain, right down to modification of gene expression
These changes enhance thinking, memory, attention and mood in ways that greatly improve quality of life and our ability to adapt to life’s inevitable curve balls. Teaching behavior modification strategies, through cognitive training, can have a dramatic impact in helping people make better brain health choices.
