December 29, 2010 by SharpBrains

How can we help younger gen­er­a­tions find the right path to life­long brain health and per­for­mance — espe­cial­ly as they will live longer, and in more dynam­ic, com­plex envi­ron­ments? We cre­at­ed the Brain Health across the Lifes­pan series to curate reli­able sources of infor­ma­tion, and here you can  check out  the Top 10 Resources to Bet­ter Under­stand the Teenage Brain.

Wish­ing you and your fam­i­ly a very brain-fit decade…please enjoy the Decem­ber edi­tion of our month­ly eNewslet­ter:

Research Bites

Mem­o­ry Train­ing Reduces Brain Atro­phy: Andreas Engvig, a for­mer Sharp­Brains intern and cur­rent neu­ro­sci­en­tist, gives us a unique peak into his lab’s work on how mem­ory train­ing can both improve mem­o­ry per­for­mance and decrease brain mat­ter reduc­tion in old­er adults’ brains.

Cog­ni­tive Train­ing can Boost Sense of Con­trol: Rea­son­ing and speed of pro­cess­ing brain train­ing can improve­ the sense of con­trol over one’s life — one of the most cru­cial mark­ers of suc­cess­ful aging.

Can Resis­tance Train­ing Pro­tect the Brain? Aer­o­bic exer­cise is not the only type of exer­cise to ben­e­fit the brain: A strength train­ing exer­cise pro­gram shows cog­ni­tive ben­e­fits one year after the training.
