For years we watched myths and mysteries shroud our brains, and I am glad that researchers and others are busting barriers lately with life-changing answers….
I keep returning to Ronald Kotuluk’s book, Inside the Brain, for new new tools that restore and heal our mental capabilities: Did you know for instance, that… 
1. Chemicals in your brain… such as estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and growth hormones play amazing roles to prevent memory loss and other problems….
2. Several drugs that improve animals’ memory now are being offered to treat stroke patients … with several of these dramatically improving memory also…
3. Brain chemicals called “neurotrophic factors” which keep cells communicating with one another are now being tested for ways they can help grow new brain cells… It’s based on the premise that when these factors disappear or shrink … that process inhibits a brain’s potential to create new brain cells or to replace missing ones.
4. Daily changes in brain cells are sustained and stimulated by physically changing your brain’s makeup, and this is done through life’s experiences and learning. The changes continue well beyond our golden years… Now that’s a new concept for those who feel their brains are slowing down.
How does this new information about your brain's plasticity impact what you plan to do or learn at work this week?
