Great interview on bilingualism, sports, education and neuroplasticity — en español

November 2, 2021 by SharpBrains

(trans­la­tion avail­able below)

Álvaro Fer­nán­dez Ibáñez: “La edu­cación bil­ingüe ayu­da a retrasar prob­le­mas cog­ni­tivos como el alzhéimer” (El Mundo):

PREGUNTA. ¿A qué se ded­i­can los neu­ro­con­sul­tores? ¿Qué relación tienen con la educación?

RESPUESTA. En los últi­mos años ha empeza­do a aumen­tar el interés por mejo­rar la capaci­dad del cere­bro. Al igual que las per­sonas quieren estar en bue­na for­ma físi­ca, se pre­ocu­pan tam­bién por estar en bue­na for­ma cog­ni­ti­va. Se habla cada vez más de con­sul­tores del cere­bro o entre­nadores men­tales y hay más actua­ciones basadas en la neu­ro­plas­ti­ci­dad. Esto se puede aplicar para ayu­dar a que los alum­nos apren­dan más. Por ejem­p­lo, la escuela Arrow­smith de Canadá tiene un pro­gra­ma de refuer­zo cog­ni­ti­vo para alum­nos con necesi­dades espe­ciales. Tam­bién está cre­cien­do mucho el mind­ful­ness para reducir el estrés de niños y pro­fe­sores.

¿Puede ust­ed aumen­tar su inteligen­cia? (El Confidencial):

“Ha apare­ci­do una flo­re­ciente indus­tria del entre­namien­to men­tal (Brain Train­ing Indus­try) que mueve más de 1.000 mil­lones de dólares en EEUU (Sharpbrains.com). Medi­ante pro­gra­mas infor­máti­cos, prom­ete mejo­rar la inteligen­cia, aumen­tar la memo­ria, resolver prob­le­mas de déficit de aten­ción e hiper­ac­tivi­dad, pre­venir el alzhéimer, man­ten­er la efi­cien­cia cog­ni­ti­va en la vejez, etc. [Read more…] about Per­spec­ti­va: Trans­for­man­do la edu­ca­cion para for­t­ale­cer de las fun­ciones ejec­u­ti­vas y mejo­rar el rendimien­to esco­lar y laboral

“Alzheimer’s cas­es are great­ly under­es­ti­mat­ed in East Asia, Sub-Saha­ran Africa and Colom­bia, researchers said, which may lead to poor pol­i­cy mak­ing and inad­e­quate health-care ser­vices.

Good interview (in Spanish) about lifelong brain health and mental fitness

March 20, 2014 by SharpBrains

AlvaroFernandezIbanez_picÁlvaro Fer­nán­dez Ibáñez: “Cor­rien­do creamos más neu­ronas que andan­do” (La Vanguardia):

- ¿Por qué inver­tir en nue­stro cere­bro es un buen negocio?
Porque lo igno­ramos has­ta que es demasi­a­do tarde, has­ta que uno tiene alzheimer o una depre­sión cróni­ca. Pero cualquier per­sona puede mejo­rar cosas de su cere­bro. Y esto tiene dos grandes ven­ta­jas: mejo­rar nue­stro rendimien­to nos sirve para apren­der cosas más rápi­do o para mane­jar el estrés [Read more…] about Good inter­view (in Span­ish) about life­long brain health and men­tal fitness

To Harness Neuroplasticity, Start with Enthusiasm

January 31, 2012 by Dr. Helena Popovic

We are the archi­tects and builders of our own brains.

For mil­len­nia, how­ev­er, we were obliv­i­ous to our enor­mous cre­ative capa­bil­i­ties. We had no idea that our brains were chang­ing in response to our actions and atti­tudes, every day of our lives. So we uncon­scious­ly and ran­dom­ly shaped our brains and our lat­ter years because we believed we had an immutable brain that was at the mer­cy of our genes.

Noth­ing could be fur­ther from the truth. [Read more…] about To Har­ness Neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty, Start with Enthusiasm
