In this video of an interview with Terry Sejnowski, a number of areas of brain research are touched. It’s about 30 minutes; I think they are well spent minutes.
Some areas touched on by Doctor Sejnowski-
We are learning animals, therefore unique.
Our environments change the brain itself by participation in these environments
We invent in technology, play, sport.
Neurons adapt best when we are young.
Brain fitness exercise is a practice makes perfect interaction.
Brain fitness programs should include a language component.
Music and the brain development are interactive at any stage of life.
Brain chemistry and addiction must include research on dopamine.
