Stimulation keeps the brain alive and hopping for you. The opposite is also true…"For the
first time we are gathering the biological evidence showing that lack of proper mental stimulation could actually harm the brain," Kotulak said.
Too little healthy stimulation predisposes some adults to learning problems, violence, alcoholism, depression and mental sluggishness, Kotulak warned.
Researchers increasingly tell us that mental training... even in old age ... can boost cognitive power ... help problem solving ... and increase memory.... Fewer limitations than once thought... exist because of deprived childhood experiences ... for those adults who exercise mentally to reshape their brains.
Mental stimulation, however can also improve your chances of avoiding mental disease… The more connections, or synapses, one has between brain cells, the more resistant people are to the effects of Alzheimer's, Kotulak writes in, “Inside the Brain.”
