Inhaltsangabe

Is it possible to rewire the brain to enhance cognitive health as we age? The
Brain Boost: A Practical Guide to Brain Health draws on cutting-edge research
from the fields of cognitive science, neuropsychology and medicine to show that
anyone can boost his or her brain performance through lifestyle changes. Full of
fascinating studies — from explorations of the hippocampi of London taxi drivers
to the role of the emotional tone of music in enhancing cognitive function in
those with Alzheimer’s — The Brain Boost is a highly engaging window into the
world of neuroplasticity, or the brain’s ability to reorganize itself throughout
an individual’s lifespan to compensate for injury and disease. The Brain Boost
offers practical, everyday tips to support brain health and longevity with a
healthy diet, regular physical exercise, socialization, and challenging cognitive
stimulation. Combating the idea that cognitive decline is an inevitable part of
aging, this book is a must read for adults of any age eager to harness the power
of neuroplasticity to enhance their mental acuity and wellbeing.
