"From what I have seen of their work, the writers and editors of the Center have been respectful of scientific accuracy while publishing current neuroscience on subjects of real concern to factors that can retard the effects of dementia." - Suzanne Corkin, Ph.

Did You Know...

Neuroscientists now know that brain cells begin to deteriorate naturally as soon as the young brain has matured, at about age 21. The trick to high job performance and self-sufficient old age is to slow down the loss of function by keeping the neurons you still have actively connected with each other.

This book's ingenious formatter, skill-graded exercises target the crucial brain circuits that control:

• short and long-term memory

• executive planning

• the ability to learn faster

• doing math in your head

• recalling words and new names and faces.

No matter what your age, these exercises can shape up your brain's circuits so they will be there for you whenever you need them to perform.

In addition, 92 laboratory insider's secrets give you a lifelong edge in real-world situations. The Brainwaves Center has culled these practical tips from five years of research in the neurosciences published worldwide brain facts the public normally doesn't know about yet.

I'm acutely aware of how little real exercise I get, but my brain is the one muscle I have no excuse to work out. Even though I have tired, foggy days I should be able to plan a little time each day for thinking, and doing some mental gymnastics. The claims of this book are a little extreme, but when you come down to it a puzzle book is a puzzle book, and these folks seem to know their stuff.
