Thought, memory, imagination, behavior – your brain is the starting point for all these, and just like bodies, brains need exercise. As anthropologist George Dorsey said once, the more you use your brain, the more brain you will have to use. The human brain is made up of millions of special cells called neurons, which are constantly sending and receiving signals every moment of our lives. Each neuron has one sending part called the axon and many receiving parts called dendrites. When you put your brain to work, the dendrites grow, branching out to receive more signals and make new connections. Research shows that fun and challenging mental activity, like playing Brain Training for Dummies, can stimulate the growth of dendrites. http://brain-training-for-dummies.software.informer.com/
