In this lesson, we examine the brain’s natural ability to repair and regenerate, evidence-backed root causes of brain degeneration, and the measurable effects of lifestyle factors on brain health..
Be familiar with established facts regarding the brain’s natural processes of repair and regeneration (neurogenesis and neuroplasticity), the evidence-backed root causes of brain degeneration, and the measurable effects of lifestyle factors on brain health and function.
Examine scientific evidence demonstrating the brain’s ability to repair and regenerate. Define lifestyle factors and analyze research connecting brain health with diet, exercise, sleep, stress, environmental toxins, screen time, cognitive stimulation, social connection, and related behaviors. Review evidence on how daily behaviors and environmental conditions can either support or impair brain structure, function, and lifelong cognitive health. Discuss the impact of toxins and list more than 90 evidence-based root causes of brain function and development issues.
