What is the relationship between brain plasticity and healthy aging of the brain?

Although cognitive decline is a normal part of aging, studies have shown that using the right kind of scientifically designed cognitive exercises can significantly improve cognitive abilities in adults. Posit Science programs are specially designed to stimulate a high level of mental activity in order to engage, harness and direct the brain’s plasticity. Some of the world’s leading brain experts, at our request, have looked across brain systems at what is happening on a biological and chemical basis and we have used their findings to design exercise programs to enhance performance and prevent decline.
