How cognitive training works?
Neuroscientists have proved that the brain has an incredible capacity to rejuvenate, reorganize, recover itself by forming new connections (rewiring) in response to cognitive effort and stimulation. New brain cells continuously develop from stem cells throughout the entire life span. Research have shown that learning, memorizing and problem solving especially enhance the generation of new neurons.
Brain cells are particularly vulnerable to inadequate oxygen supply, and their ongoing activity ensures the higher level of oxygen. As the activity level of neurons increase, so does the connections between brain cells, which results a better cognitive functioning. Neurons that reduce their activity level, over time tend to lose their connectivity. Therefore, being part of an active network is critical for the brain cells.

As we know, the inactive brain starts downsizing its functions not just by cutting connections but losing lot more neurons and neurotransmitters than normally. That's why the regular brain training and social interactions are very important in the cognitive wellness.
