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.







       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.
