* Exercise your brain. Eg playing games such as chess and learning a new hobby instead of watching TV
* Avoid and manage stress
* Get adequate sleep
* Don't smoke. According to the Mayo Clinic, smokers have twice the risk of developing Alzheimer's = (Look it up)]]> 2017-04-19 08:22:21 UTC https://padlet.com/186506/ow1lemc4kxcv/wish/166950503 186506 https://padlet.com/186506/ow1lemc4kxcv/wish/166954213 Your brain is the boss of your body. It runs the show and controls just about everything you do, even when you're asleep.
The human brain is the most mysterious and complex entity in the known universe.
It's a computer, a thinking machine, a fatty pink organ, and avast collection of neurons - but how does it actually work? The human brain is amazingly complex - in fact, more complex than anything in the known universe. The human brain effortlessly consumes power, stores memories, processes thoughts, and reacts to danger.]]> 2017-04-19 08:46:00 UTC https://padlet.com/186506/ow1lemc4kxcv/wish/166954213 186506 https://padlet.com/186506/ow1lemc4kxcv/wish/167169683 Learning depends on the plasticity of the circuits in the brain - the ability of the neurons to make lasting changes in the efficiency of their synaptic transmission.

Conscious learning is not the only thing that can strengthen the connections in a neural network. Our brain is also designed to detect recognizable patterns in the complex environment in which we live, and encode them in its neural networks automatically.
we learn some things effortlessly–such as what somebody’s face looks like–while others, such as theoretical mathematics, take more work.  It all depends on the networks that already exist in our brains.  The presence of these networks can be understood in light of their usefulness in the evolution of our species.]]> 2017-04-20 03:23:44 UTC https://padlet.com/186506/ow1lemc4kxcv/wish/167169683
