After many decades of insistence that the adult brain didn't and couldn't generate new brain cells scientists now understand that this is far from true.  Intellux  The right kind of brain exercise stimulates the production of new nerve cells and prompts the brain to rewire existing connections so that they respond more effectively to the task being trained. If you're applying to college or graduate school, you can make brain training part of your per-test regimen.  http://vitafirmfacts.com/intellux/
