Neuroplasticity: Understanding How Brain Training Helps Recovery
Many people who come to the Center for Brain Training feel stuck in an unhealthy pattern. Most have tried medications in an effort to find relief from their symptoms whether the symptoms are related to depression, anxiety, OCD, insomnia or some other unwanted condition. The Center for Brain Training is often the last stop along the way after many other avenues have been exhausted.
So, Why Can Brain Training Help When Other Methods Haven’t Worked?
It comes down to the brains amazing capacity to change itself—a process known as neuroplasticity. We use to believe that the brain’s development became fairly fixed at an early age and we really couldn’t expect more. We now know, through extensive research, that this simply isn’t true.

Dr. Daniel Amen is a well known psychiatrist. He’s written a number of books on ADHD and the brain: Change your Brain, Change Your Life, and others. His centers have done brain imaging of thousands of patients. He recently posted an article explaining how research shows neurofeedback enhances neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to adapt).
