Wording:
The task is to learn how the brain works and how you can enhance the capacity of your brain through physical exercise as well as intellectual training and efforts
Time:
hours
Introduction:
Sure, we all know we’re supposed to be exercising for our health, to lose and keep off extra weight, to stop bone loss, to decrease the risk of a host of life-limiting diseases, and to look better naked. But, what you may not know is that certain types of exercise actually have a profound impact on your cognitive and creative processes. One type even grows new brain cells, something thought impossible until just a few years ago.<br /> <br /> A lot of people are not aware that it’s possible to grow new brain cells through a process called “neurogenesis.” This process is completely healthy and basically means that any neurons (brain cells) that you may have killed can be restored.<br /> <br /> Neurogenesis is the growth of new brain cells or the birth of new neurons in the brain. The process happens in a specific area in your brain called the “hippocampus” which is located in the “limbic system.” The hippocampus is what helps human beings with spatial navigation as well as short term and long term memory consolidation. What’s interesting is that people that have Alzheimer’s disease generally experience problems with their hippocampi before any other region of the brain. So one way to prevent Alzheimer’s is to engage in activities that promote the growth of new brain cells.<br /> <br /> When your brain produces a crop of new brain cells (neurons), the hippocampus plays a major role; specifically the dentate gyrus. Nutrients and glial cells come together in the hippocampus area and form new cells; that’s the simplest possible explanation for this process.
Directive:
This task is scheduled for 4 hours.<br /> <ol> <li>Read: “How to Grow New Brain Cells” and “The 7 ways to stimulate brain cell growth”. Write notes while you read so you can use your notes to:</li> <li>Write 5 things that you and others can do to secure that you are growing new brain cells all the time.</li> <li>Make a short oral presentation about the scientific research behind these facts and the 5 things that you and your team can do to grow new brain cells. Discuss your points and adjust them.</li> <li>Send your notes and list to your teacher.</li> </ol>
