Research indicates there is a powerful mind-body connection that directly effects our emotional, cognitive, behavioral and physical health. Many individuals incorporate physical exercise into their weekly routine because we have learned how important exercise is for our overall health and well-being. Recently, neuroscientists have emphasized that is is equally as important to maintain brain fitness and physical fitness. Whether you are concerned about healthy aging, or the effects of cognitive impairments secondary to psychiatric illness, or neurological impairments, or simply achieving effective thinking skills, scientifically proven brain training can help you attain your goals. Similar to targeting specific muscle groups at the gym, cognitive rehabilitation and retraining allows you to strengthen neurological connections and systems that impact our capacity for organization, problem solving, mental control memory, attention and focus, speed of processing, and the ability to effectively learn new information. By identifying and practicing new cognitive skills, you can actively shape neural networks and promote brain plasticity.
