The brain is very responsive. One of its most amazing capacities is its ability to change, and one of the most common experiences of brain plasticity is the ability to have new experiences and new sounds stick with us."

Dr. Wendy Suzuki talks all things music, exercise, and yes, the brain.

Cognitive Enhancement Through Exercise & How Your Brain Actually Works

What do you do to maintain the health of your brain? You probably already know about the importance of mental stimulation and problem solving for the health of your brain. But the truth is, our brain is an incredibly complex system that can be affected by many internal and external factors. Protecting your health isn’t as simple as doing a word puzzle—it’s a culmination of all of your daily habits and rituals. 

How to Improve Your Performance, The Right Way

Wendy and Michael discuss how much many of us compromize our cognition and what can be done to improve our performance.

What is it doing for your executive functions in the pre frontal cortex?

Totally Cerebral: Think Pop Culture Gets Amnesia Right? Forgetaboutit!

Most amnesic patients can’t learn or remember that particular things happened in at a particular time or in a particular place. In fact, patients with severe amnesia are no longer able to learn or remember anything about what has happened to them. However, Neal Cohen and Larry Squire showed that the same amnesic patients could learn and remember how to do things, like work a lock, or solve a puzzle with blocks, or swing a racquet.

Totally Cerebral: What’s That Smell?

Scents and tastes are powerfully evocative — one whiff of perfume or cooking aromas can transport you back to a particular moment, a particular place, a particular person. Because the things we smell reach two brain structures called the hippocampus and amygdala in just one synapse, scents can almost immediately stimulate the key brain areas for memory, emotion, and location.
