The lesson from neuroscience is, at its core, a simple one: engage your brain in learning, every day and in every way possible. Learning shapes the brain throughout life, not just during periods of brain development in childhood and young adulthood.

At any age, learning induces changes at the synaptic connections that underlie all aspects of brain function, making these synapses stronger and actually adding new synapses into our neural networks. Learning supports the development of a rich network of synaptic connections that crisscross our brain, which will in turn support our overall cognitive health as we age.

If we push our brains and challenge them to learn, we can enhance our neural architecture, no matter our age. By doing so, we will be taking positive steps to manage our brain health.

We can also enhance our performance on the job and be better equipped to adapt to rapid changes in technology and new knowledge.

By enriching our brains with learning throughout life, we can enrich our work and personal lives, and reap the benefits of better brain health on the job and in every aspect of life.
