Did you know ?

The latest discoveries in neuroscience show all the potential and plasticity of the human brain. Our brains reorganize themselves depending on what they experience. So we can "train" our brains and choose to develop certain skills.

If you think you’re hopeless in music, a disaster in math, permanently shy or born with a hair-trigger temper … your brain may not share that opinion! You can change all this if you just give your brain a chance to train itself. Sound interesting? Ready to try?
How many neurons are there in a brain ?
