Brain Boosters
Overview
All adults lose brain cells as we age, but the good news is each person has the power and ability to improve their overall brain health despite their age. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganize neural pathways from experience. Recent brain imaging technologies show that as you receive input through your senses with frequency, intensity, and duration, the brain physically changes structure. How? Brains physically react and adapt in response to challenge. Once structure changes, functions can change. Put simply, “neuroplasticity” is the brain’s ability to change when it’s learning something new that is challenging, like learning to play piano, a new language, or starting a new hobby.
Since 2006, Brain Boosters has been helping people maximize their brainpower, which is why Brain Boosters is offered multiple times a year. “How to” steps are part of the classes and include ways to sharpen focus, create a brain-health lifestyle, relax the brain, become a flexible thinker, memory-enhancing techniques, and how worry affects the brain.
