Introduction to Brain Improvement

We¶re living in the informationage. To be able to keep up

with this fast growing world, weneed to improve our ability in

learning, memory, intelligence,

problem solving, decisionmaking and creative thinking.This is when brain

improvement becomesessential. The brain is a three

pound supercomputer. It issaid that we only use 2% of

our brain power throughout life.But what if we can use it upuntil 100%? This is not

impossible though, just as longas we thrive to improve our

limitless brain power to the top.



History of Brain Improvement

The human brain is the most complex entity in theuniverse. From the time when man first begin to

depend on his mind for coping with his environment,the possession of a powerful mind has been the step

to positions of command and respect.

The Baby¶s Brain : When a baby is born, her braincomes equipped with approximately 100 billionneurons, or nerve cells. With each new experience,this baby's neurons will form neural networks thatwill transmit information involved in feeling,sensing, thinking, and learning. Her brain will growat an astonishing rate during these early years,nearly tripling in weight by her third birthday!




The Children¶s Brain : A child's brain is ripe for learning! Neuroscientists have discovered thatbetween toddlerhood and puberty, brain metabolism,as measured by blood sugar consumption, remains

very high. The synaptic net of axons and dendrites isthick and ready to absorb new experiences. Manyresearchers believe that certain skills are easiest tolearn during this time. A dramatic example is theability to learn language before the age of ten.

Children's brains can soak up new words in boththeir native language and in another language theyfrequently hear .




The Adolescent Brain : Adolescence is a time filled

with changes, both physical and emotional. The

adolescent brain is no exception. It is now

commonly believed that the brain of an

adolescent is much more dynamic than

previously thought. The changing physical

features that are obvious on the outside of an

adolescent are also taking place inside their brain.At various times during childhood and into

adolescence, new synapses are made and then

pared down, producing more mature brain

structures.




The Adult Brain : As an adult, the most important traitof the brain is its plasticity. Plasticity is the ability of the brain to adapt in response to new experiences.As an adult, there are often a limitless number of new things to contend with: new jobs, marriage,

children, financial responsibilities, new friends, etc.New findings on the adult brain establish twoprinciples. First, the adult brain continues to growand develop throughout our entire life. Second, braindevelopment in adulthood is shaped mostly byoutside stimuli.

The Aging Brain : Aging does NOT always lead to apronounced decline and loss of cognitive ability.Much to the contrary, many older adults live acreative and productive life to the end.
