How to Improve your Brain Fitness

Just as physical fitness has become a central topic related to human health and wellbeing over the past decades, the recent explosion of research into brain structure, organization, and function signals that brain fitness is quickly catching up as one of the critical areas of scientific investigation.

This is because research into the concept of brain fitness seems to cut across several major concepts that affect nearly every aspect of our lives—such as learning, memory, plasticity, and environment.

It comes as no surprise that the concept of brain fitness has waited for the 21st century to emerge. At no other point in human civilization have we witnessed more significant inter-generational divides in information and experienced such rapid societal and technological change that a considerable portion of knowledge learned by the parents' generation becomes outdated for the following generation. These extreme changes create a need to assimilate new learning methods and devise new information-processing circuits in the brain for generational updating.
