Does computerized brain training help?

A recording from Josh Turknett, MD's live video

In this episode, we dig into a recent McGill University study on computerized cognitive training and its effects on brain chemistry in older adults.

What you’ll learn:

  • Why certain brain training games reversed a decade of age-related cognitive decline in just 10 weeks—and how researchers finally measured actual biological changes in the brain

  • The critical difference between activities that genuinely enhance your brain versus mental junk food like Candy Crush or Solitaire

  • The single organizing principle you can use to evaluate whether any cognitive activity is actually helping your brain or wasting your time

and more!
