You\u2019ve probably heard this several times before: when it comes to the brain, you need to take into consideration the use it or lose it brain development principle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The human brain is like a muscle after all. You have to use it or lose it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The question is: is there any truth to this statement? And if yes, what\u2019s the science behind it? Let\u2019s find out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your Brain and Control<\/b><\/h2>\n

One of the most threatening feelings one could possibly experience is probably the feeling of losing it all —\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you\u2019re living a normal life, and then you realize, you seem to get less and less control\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

When you find yourself suddenly scrambling for memories of the things you did recently\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

Or when your brain seems to process ideas significantly slower than usual.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When the brain\u2019s cognitive function weakens, things can get a little out of control. And for a reason:<\/span><\/p>\n

Our thoughts and actions are all directed by our brains.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"take<\/p>\n

But to slip out of control every once in a while, like occasionally forgetting things, or struggling to do simple arithmetic, should not be cause for concern.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I know people (several of them), who have had the same experience at some point in their lives. And I have to admit that I, myself, experience these \u201cinconveniences\u201d every once in a while.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These experiences come in varying \u201cintensities\u201d and frequencies, of course. But the problem appears to worsen when people go around the age of forty or older.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
