Can an old brain learn new tricks?
The answer could soon be a resounding “yes.”
Scientists from the University of California at Irvine may have found a way to restore the youthful flexibility of the still-developing brain. In a study on mice recently published in the journal Neuron, the researchers were able to re-activate a younger neural state in an older brain.

You know that cheesy pizza slice is no good for your health (or waistline), but that doesn’t make you want it any less. This battle is often described as one that takes place between your mind and your heart, but really, it’s all happening in your head.
“It wasn’t very many years ago that we thought the brain was fixed, but now we know neuroplasticity is a part of what makes us who we are,” says Dave Apsrey, author of The Bulletproof Diet (published by Women’s Health’s parent company, Rodale). “Knowing you can learn to prefer foods that are healthy for you and to simply not care about things you used to crave can provide a huge source of hope for people.”

Is the internet bad for our brains? Is it affecting our ability to remember things, form meaningful relationships, or make decisions? How is it beneficial? Isn’t having so much information at our fingertips a good thing?
