Giving the brain a workout
A. Use your brain and it will grow - it really will. This is the message from neuropsychologist lan Robertson, professor of psychology at Trinity College, Dublin and founding director of the university's Institute of Neuroscience. His book, Puzzler Brain Trainer 90-Day Workout, contains puzzles which he devised to stretch, sharpen and stimulate the brain. The puzzles, from 'memory jogs' to Sudoku to crosswords to number games are all-encompassing, and have been specially formulated to improve each and every part of the brain, from visual-spatial ability to perception, attention, memory, numerical agility, problem-solving and language.
B. Professor Robertson has been studying the brain for 57 years, in a career dedicated to changing and improving the way it works.During this time there has been a remarkable paradigm shift in the way scientists view the brain, he says. 'When I first started teaching and researching, a very pessimistic view prevailed that, from the age of three or four, we were continually losing brain cells and that the stocks couldn't be replenished. That has turned out to be factually wrong. Now that we know that the brain is "plastic"it changes, adapts and is physically sharpened according to the experiences it has.'
C. Robertson likens our minds to trees in a park with branches spreading out, connecting and intertwining, with connections increasing in direct correlation to usage. He says that the "eureka" moment in his career and the reason he devised his 'braintrainer' puzzles - was the realization that the connections multiply with use and so it is possible to boost and improve our mental functions at any age. 'Now we know that it's not just children whose brains are "plastic",' he says. 'No matter how old we are, our
