The more intellectual challenges to the brain early in life, the more neurons and connections the brain is likely to develop and perhaps maintain into later years. Several studies of normal aging have found that higher levels of educational attainment were associated with slower cognitive and functional decline. Dr. Scarmeas and Dr. Stern suggest that cognitive reserve probably reflects an interconnection between genetic intelligence and education, since more intelligent people are likely to complete higher levels of education. But brain stimulation does not have to stop with the diploma. Better-educated people may go on to choose more intellectually demanding occupations and pursue brain-... funny given the news on terry prachets health ie:is in the early stages of alzheimiers considering he was so intellectualy gifted The article also cites studies that show the benefits of having lived a physically active life, and the importance of an active social life (which increases neural connections) in building up 'cognitive reserve'. There are many factors that are involved in an individual's susceptibility to dementias and their severity, but the article is explaining what research is finding as risk factors. I'm not sure an active social life would "build the brain." Many of the world's more intelligent people have been quite antisocial. When Jean Paul Sartre was asked to define Hell, he said, "Other people." I'll read all the threads about this thirty times, then backwards, then in a mirror, then in a mirror & backwards , then in a mirror, backwards, with all my family and friends commenting my behavior and me commenting their comments - for the social part to be active too ... ... feel better already, just thinking to all this marvelous future i intend to commit in ... Don't forget that the research correlations are only that, and only present a suggestion of general risk factors. They don't take into account all the variables - for instance, it is well known that thinking too hard can, in susceptible individuals lead to thermal runaway and, in the worst case scenario, to exploding head syndrome. slvgnslnlllllllll gzschrrr gg an aysh ashan... a choufek dani...

Is it a mantra? Is it good for me? does it help with exploding head syndrome? ****hope****  sahara - totally yes - but be aware ! - only do these mantra while submerging your head in icy water - a tub fulled with icecubes of heavy water mixed with an equal part of lead will do it - because if not, the explosion may turn thermonuclear, and it cannot be consider as a bliss - no no no no - not a bliss at all The central focus of the article is upon developing neural connections through social interaction and thinking pursuits, and maintaining good oxygenation of the brain etc through physical health. Rapid connectioniism, exposure to new ideas and patterns etc could be the experience of Clipping and similar activities, a daily work out. Or it may be used simply to find ideas and patterns which we already have, reinforce them and work against cognitive development. Internet in itself is a highly connective fabric. You can explore effectively a high number of paths in a very short time and develop ideas in a way never encountered before in human history. Clipping make that experience more dense & more effective. If u want to learn, internet in general & clipping in particular is the royal way. Yeeeah !!! Fabulous thought, Teosoma. valuable comment handleriii |
