Counseling Process What happens in the counseling process? Is it so mysterious? Exercise Over 60 Exercise over 60 is good for your brain. That is the bottom line for me. How to Increase Your Brain Power How to increase your brain power means how to increase two capacities of the human brain, called neurogenesis and neuroplasticity. To Increase Brain Power Strategies to increase brain power are the strategies that make it possible for the brain to do more of what it already does, grow new neurons and facilitate effective new connections between neurons. Neuroplasticity Exercises Neuroscientific dogma up until about ten years ago was that past a certain point in our lives, our brain did not change, we had what we had, and that was it. In fact, any change would be that it shrank, actually, as neurons died. Brain Neuroplasticity Is it possible to self-direct brain neuroplasticity?

Brain Training Program Curious about brain training programs? Is there anything to them besides smoke and mirrors? I have been using four of them, and I like them, but here is information from two University of Michigan researchers who offer an e-book which draws on their professional expertise to explain in a humorous way that brain fitness is certainly something we can cultivate. Brain Fitness Kits What is in your brain fitness kit? It could impact what is in your wallet as well, to paraphrase the Capital One commercials.
