Can a puzzle a day keep Alzheimer's away? - Los Angeles Times: "Brain exercises have long been touted as a way to ward off dementia and other costs of aging. An Orlando Sentinel report takes a look at the brain fitness clubs popping up to serve seniors, testing them with puzzles, engaging them with video games and providing them an opportunity to interact with their peers.
What we know about the brain has evolved over the last several decades, the article points out. The brain was once seen as a precious collection of irreplaceable cells, potentially lost forever after a bump to the head or a few too many drinks. Now, scientists realize the brain is constantly rewiring itself and can even grow new cells."
