Neurobics is a term that was introduced in a book written over 20 years ago called “Keep Your Brain Alive”.

It describes the action of doing exercises for the brain with the intent to improve cognitive function and decrease decline. Neurobics works by improving our brains ability to remodel itself. New connections and cell growth are stimulated when we train our brain in novel ways.
