It is never too late!
The good news is that we now know that we can build new
connections at any age!
Scientists found that even older
adults can change neural
circuitry with the right practice. 1
It takes LOADS of effort and practice – but you CAN change your
brain!
By working at the things you find hard, you will build new neural
connections and start finding it easier and easier.
