...current research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying this precise neural circuitry...
...brain more fit and agile." Katz and co-author Manning Rubin came up with 83 "neurobic" exercises for their book Keep Your Brain Alive. Sample different food, they suggest, reposition your furniture, travel by a different route, learn a language--try anything that will alter the brain's neural pathways. Certain activities, like gardening and fishing, are beneficial because they involve so many senses. Your lifestyle shapes how your brain will be as you get older...
...things have changed a lot, except maybe for one thing. As I'm dictating this into the cyber-neural-net, I am sitting on a soft object with a rather high back, which is necessary as, like all other human beings now, I have no real bone structure.

Seated on your couch, you'll writhe in agony from lactic-acid accumulation at the end of an Ironman Triathlon...
