Brain training not only keeps brain tissues in good health, it also helps rewire unused synapses. For those who do not know, synapses are connection points between axons and dendrons in the brain. When we are born, we have almost 15,000 synapses in our brain, most of which dry up due to lack of usage, as we grow up. However, this damage is reversible at almost any age. If we start using our brain more and more by playing puzzle games and performing some simple mind exercises regularly, many of the unused synapses are rejuvenated and those also start absorbing protein from food, thereby getting stronger.

Playing brain games is a sure shot way of keeping your brain tissues healthy and reviving the withering synapses. Lumosity.com is one of the premier websites in this regard.
