DESCRIPTION:For a long time\, the scientific community believed we were bor
 n with a certain number of brain cells and neural pathways and that\, once
  damaged\, they could not be repaired. In reality\, our brains are much mo
 re flexible. Depending on our lifestyle\, we can weaken and destroy connec
 tions\, or create newer\, stronger ones.\n\nEngaging regularly in certain 
 behaviors and activities\, like physical exercise\, addressing mental heal
 th issues\, meditation\, and learning a new language or musical instrument
 \, support new wiring and can make pathways stronger. Essentially\, we can
  slow down or somewhat prevent cognitive decline by doing challenging ment
 al exercises to keep our brains fit for optimal power.\n\nWorkshop Objecti
