Brain Plasticity Training

Brain plasticity (also known as cortical plasticity or neuroplasticity) is the ability of the brain to reorganize itself – forming new brain cells and new information processing connections between those cells, and new functions for those cells. Brain plasticity training results when through training the brain's organization is changed or new neurons are created.

When Does Brain Plasticity Occur?

Neuroplasticity is known to occur in the brain in the following situations: 

♦ During infancy and childhood, and into young adulthood: when the immature brain organizes itself. 

• ♦ Through adulthood: whenever we form a new memory, learn something new, or develop a new skill. This includes brain plasticity training.
  
• ♦ In response to brain injury, disease or genetic brain disorders such as blindness: to compensate for lost functions or maximize remaining functions.  

Recent evidence demonstrates that the brain is capable of remarkable widespread change and adaptation throughout the lifespan– much more than had previously been thought.

Effective brain plasticity training: Change neuron connections by training your intelligence

In 2008 a brain training exercise was successfully developed by a team of scientists working in the University of Bern (Switzerland) and the University of Michigan (USA) that has been demonstrated to increase the power of what is called fluid intelligence – our ability to reason and problem solve in new situations. Training with this software has also been shown to increase neural activity in part of the pre-frontal cortex known to be involved in higher cognitive functioning. It also results in lasting changes to the brain (brain plasticity) increasing the of receptors for dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in higher cognition - in the frontal lobe.

This is called synaptic plasticity – it occurs in the connections between individual brain cells (neurons). This process can be seen in the diagram below which shows two neurons. The first releases the chemical dopamine into the 'gap' between the two neurons called the 'synapse'. It is then detected by specialized 'receptors' in the second neuron which activates the neuron. More of these receptors are created as a result of IQ training with our software.
