So I was watching the rocky scenes and a thought a came to my head. I have read a lot lately about recent research on the brain, the first thing I learned is that there is no actaul evidence to say intelligence (although the term is ambigous really) is not born by genetics. So I am wondering as to wheter the human brain is like the human body with different parts with each weak or strong depending on the person, if you can exercise your body to expand the muscles or strength of body parts can you do the same for the brain? I know there are exercises particularly pertaining to the brain and most schools don't advantage of it, but could you train your brain with the same toughness (by whatever newly discovered standards) and strength as shown in the rocky training scenes? Or do current exercises or cognitive enrichment techniques have not reached the levels to expand to such a level like that of how people expand and take care of there body muscles?

Can you train and expand your brain to new limits perhaps for some parts?

yes, you can strengthen your brain...reading lots will improve reading comprehension (and probably visualization), solving puzzles will help certain parts of your problem-solving capacities as well.

On a biological side, I remember quite a few studies showing that studying/solving problems/learning led to increased activity in the brain, and that increased activity led to the creation (or at least prevented the atrophy) of neural connections in that part of the brain.

not a bio student though, so take that with a grain of salt

Think about this question:

When you are 25 years old, is your brain the same as when you were 2 days old?

Your question is answered.

So your body isn't the same either, yet people manage.


Also I don't reading or academics is truly an indicator nor an appropriate measure for real intelligence or the brain power being fourth, I think the society of today has come to interpret any sort of academic education or perfermance as a measure of brain power which isn't entirely true.

I think so.

Good reason to read, if anything.

ability to use language is the number one way humans determine the intelligence of other humans. you can definetely learn to use language better. if you were taking steps to improve your language abilitysl, i would probably start by working on:

1. vocabulary
2. speech (oral presentation)
3. reading comprehension

i am sure there are a myriad of ways to improve those particular traits. blog what you do; im curious about what will happen.
