Exercise Your Mind With Neurobics!
"Neurobics is based on research about the nature of how the brain learns, stores and creates memories," said Schisler. "It's different from the solitary mental exercise such as crosswords, logic puzzles and testing. It's the way the brain actually learns."
Schisler said nerve cells need to keep communicating and an important way to do that is to break routine activities. "Routine does not engage your brain. We need to do things that trigger new associations in the brain, especially things that are fun," Schisler said.

Parts Of The Brain And What They Control
THE CEREBRUM
In the cerebrum, there are fifty hundred to one hundred thousand neurons, the telegram of information is sent from place to place like a telegram. The cerebrum is divided in to two hemispheres, the right and left hemispheres. The dividing point is a deep grove called the longitudal cerebral fissure. The different sides of the cerebrum do different things for the opposite sides of the body. The right side of the cerebrum controls things such as imagination and 3-D forms. The other side of the brain, the left side, controls numbering skills, posture, and reasoning. The hemispheres also consist of many other parts such as the lobes.
The Cerebellum
The cerebellum is the part of the brain where the high level functions take place. The cerebellum conrtols posture, balance, and coordination. It is divided into two differene lobes which are connected by white fibers. Also in the cerebellum, there is folia, bundled nerve cells. The brain stem is located directly below the cerebellum.
The Brain Stem
The brain stem connects the spinal cord with the spinal cord. It is also the part of the brain where the vital functions occur. The lowest part of the brain is located in the brain stem, the meddula oblangata. Directly above the meddula oblangata are the pons. The pons is the band of nerves that connect the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the meddula oblangata. The meddula oblangata is in the middle of the brain and controls breathing. Above the pons is the mid brain.

- I visit great lenses like this one, of course. I read a lot, I do puzzles, and I play games that make me think. Of course I also make sure I stay hydrated and I try to eat good foods, and I avoid alcohol, plus I've never smoked. Deep breathing to ensure I stay well oxygenated is another little thing. I hope it's all working, but I don't really know.
