Brain Plas­tic­i­ty: How learn­ing changes your brain
- By Dr. Pas­cale Michelon

Neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty and Life­long Learning
- By Alvaro Fernandez
We promised you with our blog title 7 months ago that we would be your “Win­dow into the Brain Fit­ness Rev­o­lu­tion”, but we could­n’t have pre­dict­ed that CBS, Time Mag­a­zine, WSJ, NYT and oth­er main­stream media would be such great allies in this neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty effort.

This means that the brain – our intel­li­gence – is not some­thing fixed in con­crete but rather a chang­ing, learn­ing enti­ty. On the face of it, this con­cept should not sound unusu­al, for it is what hap­pens to indi­vid­u­als all the time as we go about the learn­ing process, from infan­cy onwards. […]

Brain Fit­ness Pro­gram and Neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty @ PBS
- By Alvaro Fernandez
