“…the adult brain retains impres­sive pow­ers of ‘neu­ro­plas­tic­i­ty’ —
the abil­i­ty to change its struc­ture and func­tion in response to experience.”

—Sharon Beg­ley, Wall Street Jour­nal, Sci­ence Editor

“In the same way that phys­i­cal exer­cise pro­motes mus­cle growth, recent research
has shown that tar­get­ed men­tal exer­cise pro­motes neurogenesis”

—Dr. Elkhonon Gold­berg, neu­ro­sci­en­tist, author of The Exec­u­tive Brain and
The Wis­dom Para­dox, and Chief Sci­en­tif­ic Advi­sor of SharpBrains
