Treat it well, feed it right, work it out, push it on, let go of the burden and give it some love, and instead of a beat-up old bicycle you’ll transform it into a rip-roaring Ferrari smokin’ down the tracks.

Great article, Alvin. I agree that keeping our brains functioning well is an important goal, and something we can improve with regular maintenance. Thanks!
Hey Alvin
Arent’ you going to submit this article to take part in the latest problogger’s writing project? There are prizes to be won!
Thanks Matt!
Yup, as you can see by the trackback, I couldn’t pass up the chance! What about you?
Hi Alvin, so glad you are writing about this! This is a majorly important topic!!
YAY!
S.
Really enjoyed this! It’s always interesting to see the link between biology and behavior.
Alvin, very good summary. (I found you through your comment in Senia’s blog). In my class I usually say that we can literally grow our brains with 1) new and diverse mental stimulation (that influences the enhanced generation of neurons and connections) and 2) better stress management (stress has the opposite effect).
2 posts that can be of interest, given what I see in your blog:
-On Learning and bottlenecks to learning/ performance
-On Keeping an Open Mind. It contains a fun video of one of the most spectacular brain research findings on attention I have seen recently
Regards
Great post Alvin!
It’s so true and probably one of the most ignored muscles in the body.
*flexes brain*
I’m going to consciously keep my brain in good shape! I’m off for a game of soduku!
I love to learn new things, I try to do puzzles that challenge me too…I’m a big promoter in keeping your brain busy and active!
So true and nice reminders! Our how-to is up as well if you’d like to check it out!!
Great read! Now I need a brain massage! Thanks for the great how to! Thanks for participating in the Group Writing Project. My how to is up also.
Wow, thanks Alvaro! Guys, he knows his brain…check out his blog, it’s packed with expert info on fine-tuning the brain’s performance!
Thanks for all the kind comments people! Darren’s group writing projects kick ass
Great article, Alvin. You provide information in an easily accessible manner. I’m going to start a file for my class so that when I have my students do an independent study unit, they will have infromation that they can understand and work with. Thanks.
Well, I don’t know it all…yet
Fyi, have just written a post you may enjoy, based on a very good article on the Neuroscience of Leadership.
Enjoy the weekend
Perfectly inline with my how to.
I like very much the writings
Excellent post. I don’t think most people realize that stress can actually lead to brain shrinkage! Definetely something to work on this day and age!
Great stuff, not enough sleep makes my brain foggy. Your brain is like any other organ in your body and next to the heart the most important one. Treat it right and since it is mostly made of water make sure to keep it hydrated.

Your brain next to your heart is probably your most important organ in your body. Keep it hydrated as it is mostly water. Great site!
