How to turn your memory and improve your mind
Although the brain only weighs 2% of body mass, consumes over 20% of oxygen and nutrients that we take during the day.
Inside the brain are concentrated about 10,000 billion neurons , and memory, among other powers of the brain, which works because these neurons are connected by tiny electrical impulses.
It seems that at age 27 is when the brain begins to deteriorate. Thus, scientists have demonstrated the University of Virginia in the United States. It is believed that the increased alertness of humans enjoy over 22 years of age and about 5 years later is when the brain begins to lose skills, the thoughts are slower, costs more to reason and remember worse. That does not mean we are going to suffer dementia or something, but we do need to start taking care of our
he ongoing fear of growing old before their time
According to studies, remember the 5% of what we hear, 20% of what we see and 90% of what we do. Not currently be more awkward than before, but we live in a world too machining in which almost everything we wrote. So when something is strictly dependent on our memory is easy to fall into oblivion. Back when the machines were limited to a few companies, almost all had to memorize it. And even more so in small towns. Maybe that’s why people in a small population, there are hundreds of seniors who are able to converse with amazing agility and brilliance that many young people want for themselves.
The brain is almost like an internet network
Recent scientific advances have discovered that the brain is constantly processing and which is developed over the years a network as if it were computer connections. At birth, a minimum of connections which are increasing and becoming more complicated as a birthday. The brain is moving from the simple to the complex, with one caveat, if you do not care, nurture and maintain each of these connections our mind goes numb. Hence we have to keep it active, because the more work the younger minds will continue.
Encode and store to recover after
Apparently, the act of remembering something does not cost us any work, at least at the stage of youth. But until we put in words what is remembered, the brain sets in motion an elaborate protocol: Identifies the petition seeks the answer in the right place, connects this response with other data if needed and remembers what verbalized.
This circuit acts mechanically and apparently unintentionally, may be altered by many circumstances, one being age.
Keep in mind that some cognitive impairment of the mind is inevitable with the passage of time. But if genetics with us and take care of our brains, as we do with other parts of our body, we can enjoy a young and agile mind for a long time.
