Brain Games For
Seniors
Mental decline is a serious issue for
seniors. Illnesses like Alzheimer’s and dementia have been
widely documented and with people living longer than ever, there is a legitimate concern for everyone to be
concerned about cognitive decline. Fortunately, there have been
some that have had to foresight to recognize these issues. One
such person is Dr. Michael Merzenich. He is a scientist that has
been dedicated to a newly developing scientific discipline, neuroplasticity. This new science offers promise to all those concerned about staving off
cognitive decline. However, what sets Dr. Merzenich apart from
other scientists is that he has continued to develop this new science by bringing the findings of his
research into practical applications.
One of the most significant developments of these
applications has been his creation of a brain training games company. Through his efforts and other scientists, he created the company, Posit
Science. This company focuses on creating brain games for seniors
and others. These games attempt to apply neuroplastic principles in
an effort to help the brain grown new neurons and improve brain functioning. Even better is that early results are promising as their studies show that
test subjects are improving on average as documented by a study completed at the Mayo Clinic known as the IMPACT
study.
