Neuroscientist Dr. Sandra Bond Chapmen: Make Your Brain Smarter

01/22/13 - Tuesday's Topical Currents addresses our “cognitive potential,” with Dr. Sandra Bond Chapman, founder of the Center for Brain Health at the University of Texas at Dallas.  She says today’s “multi-tasking” culture is bad for the brain . . . and that working crosswords or Sudoku really can’t make us sharper.  Age is not a predictor of brain slippage – Chapman says cognitive health declines because we let it.  Book link: Make Your Brain Smarter - website link:  www.makeyourbrainsmarter.com
