Many people suffer from under excersiced brain. It is a growing problem in our afluent western society. Many people are often mentally tired after spending a day at work and then having to deal with the family chores, but this kind of mental excersise is routine and repetitive, and does nothing to grow, repair or excersise the brain.
Mental brain neurologists, including the sexy fast talking tv babe Professor Susan Greenslap, have recently been explaining ways to enlarge and expand, neural connections therefore enabling more complex thought and adaptive coping to complex problems.
The most common problems are :-
1) People not getting enough physical excersise.
2) Not getting enough sleep
3) Not eating well enough
4) Watching television everyday
This has a dramatic effect on the brain's función, because a healthy blood supply has a direct effect on the communication between varius parts. A poor blood supply will lead to parts of the brain being slow, possibly forgetfulness, inability to realise obvious things, and in severe cases localised brain death, memory loss, alzheimers and paralysis.
When an adequate regular excersise routine is in place then, there are several things which can be done to build new pathways and vessels within the brain structure. These often include finding new ways to do basic tasks.

Non of these techniques will give you a higher IQ or superbrain, but they will make you more eisily cope with life in general, make you less likely to develop some mental conditions, possibly depression, possibly strokes. And will make you a more cheerful, rational, vigorous person and a better and more inventive thinker. In adition you will attain improved sleep and energy levels.
